In The Secret Of His Presence

C# G# A#m G# In the secret of His presence F# C# F# G# How my soul delights to hide C# G# A#m G# Oh, how precious are the lessons F# C# F# G# Which I learn at Jesus' side A#m G# F# G# Earthly cares forever vex me, A#m G# F# G# While thy trials lay me low; F# G# F# G# But when Satan comes to tempt me, F# G# F# G# A#m To that secret place I go, F# G# F# G# C# To the secret place I go. C# G# A#m G# When my soul is faint and thirsty, F# C# F# G# 'neath the shadow of Your wings C# G# A#m G# There is cool and pleasant shelter, F# C# F# G# and a fresh and crystal spring; A#m G# F# G# And my Savior rests beside me, A#m G# F# G# As we hold communion sweet: F# G# F# G# If I tried, I could not utter F# G# F# G# A#m what He says when thus we meet, F# G# F# G# C# What He says when thus we meet. C# G# A#m G# Only this I know: I tell Him F# C# F# G# All my doubts, my griefs and fears; C# G# A#m G# Oh, how patiently He listens F# C# F# G# And my sorrowed soul He cheers: A#m G# F# G# Do you think He ne'er reproves me? A#m G# F# G# What a false Friend He would be, F# G# F# G# If He never, never told me F# G# F# G# A#m of the sin which He must see, F# G# F# G# C# Of the sin which He must see. C# G# A#m G# Would you like to know the sweetness F# C# F# G# of the secret of the Lord? C# G# A#m G# Go and hide beneath His shadow: F# C# F# G# this shall then be your reward; A#m G# F# G# And whene'er you leave the silence A#m G# F# G# of that happy meeting place, F# G# F# G# You will surely bear the image F# G# F# G# A#m of the Master in your face, F# G# F# G# C# Of the Master in your face.
