Lyrics

Would you gain the vic­to­ry
Over ev­ery sin?
Would you in each bat­tle
For your cap­tain win?
Hide away with Je­sus,
Yield not to des­pair;
Find your sec­ret clo­set—
He will meet you there.

Refrain

He will meet you there,
He will meet you there;
Find your sec­ret clo­set—
He will meet you there;
If your heart is bur­dened,
If His grace you’d share,
Find your sec­ret clo­set—
He will meet you there.

Would you spend your life­time
In the Lord’s em­ploy?
And the rich­est bless­ings
From His hand enjoy?
Hide away with Je­sus
From the world of care;
Find your sec­ret clo­set—
He will meet you there.

Refrain

Would you walk with Je­sus
In the nar­row way?
Hear His faint­est whis­per
When your feet would stray?
Hide away with Je­sus
From the tempt­er’s snare;
Find your sec­ret clo­set—
He will meet you there.

Refrain

Would you be His jew­el
When He claims His own?
Would you share His glo­ry
Shining round the throne?
Hide away with Je­sus,
Keep in con­stant pray­er;
Find your sec­ret clo­set—
He will meet you there.

Refrain
