Name: He Hideth My Soul
Duration: P00H06M33S
Description: One day in 1890, Fanny Crosby was visited by William Kirkpatrick, a talented gospel musician who had just composed a new melody that he felt needed suitable words to become a singable hymn. As William sat at the piano and played the tune for Fanny, her face lit up. She knelt in prayer, as was always her custom, and soon the lines to this hymn began to flow freely from her heart.

lyrics

A wonderful Savior, is Jesus my Lord –
A wonderful Savior to me.
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the Rock –
Where rivers of pleasure, I see.

Chorus
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the Rock
That shadows a dry thirsty land.
He hideth my life in the depths of His Love,
And covers me there with His Hand –
And covers me there with His Hand.

A wonderful Savior, is Jesus my Lord –
He taketh my burden away.
He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved.
He giveth me strength as my day.

~~~Chorus~~~

With numberless blessings, each moment He crowns.
And filled with His fullness divine –
I sing in my rapture, “O, glory to God
For such a Redeemer as mine!”

~~~Chorus~~~

When clothed in His brightness, transported, I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky!
His perfect salvation – His wonderful Love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high!
