Hide Thou Me

A tribute to Patria Louise Anderson. Her favorite song, published in 1926 when she was 10 years old.

Hide Thou Me

Sometimes I get discouraged and thinnk my life in vain.
I'm tempted oft to murmur and of my lot complain.
But then I think of Jesus and all He's done for me.
Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."

O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me.
No other refuge have I but Thee.
When life's dark vale I wander far, far from Thee,
Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."

Sometimes it seems I dare not go one step further on
And from my heart all courage has disappeared and gone.
But I remember Jesus and all His love for me.
Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."

O what a friend is Jesus, sure Anchor of my soul.
So tender, true and gracious, I'm safe in His control.
My Help in time of danger, my strong Defense is He.
O Thou Blessed Rock of Ages, "Hide Thou me."

O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me.
No other refuge have I but Thee.
When life's dark vale I wander far, far from Thee
Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."
