1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathom'd no man knows;

I see from far Thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose:
My heart is pained nor can it be
At rest till it find rest in Thee.

2 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to
share?

Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in Thee.

3 O hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Thou in me, may live;
My vile affections crucify,

Nor let one darling lust survive; In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4 Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits Thy call; Speak to my inmost soul, and say,

I am thy Love, thy God, thy All;

To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice. AMEN. 318

1 Thou hidden source of calm repose, Thou all-sufficient Love Divine, My help and refuge from my foes,

2

Secure I am if Thou art mine.
And,lo! from sin and grief and shame
I hide me, Father, in Thy name.

Father, my all in all Thou art,
My rest in toil, my ease in pain;
The healing of my broken heart;

In strife, my peace; in loss,my gain; My smile beneath the cold world's frown;

In shame, my glory and my crown. 3 In want, my plentiful supply;

In weakness, my almighty power;
In bonds, my perfect liberty;

My light in evil's darkest hour;
In grief, my joy unspeakable;
My life in death, my all in all. AMEN.
