In the Secret of His Presence
(words by Ellen Lakshmi Goreh & Geo. C. Stebbins)
In the secret of his presence
How my soul delights to hide
Oh how precious are the lessons
Which I learn at Jesus’ side
Earthly cares forever vex me
And all my trials lay me low
But when Satan comes to tempt me
To that secret place I go
To that secret place I go
When my soul is faint and thirsty
‘neath the shadow of his wing
There is cool and pleasant shelter
And a fresh and crystal spring
And my savior rests beside me
As we hold communion sweet
If I tried, I could not utter
What he says when thus we meet
What he says when thus we meet
Only this I know I tell him
All my doubts, my griefs and fears
Oh how patiently he listens
And my sorrowed soul he cheers
Do you think he ne’er reproves me
What a false friend he would be
If he never, ever told me of the sin which he must see
Of the sin which he must see
