Let my life be hid in Thee,
Life of life and light of light!
Love’s il­lim­it­able sea!
Depth of peace and pow­er the height!

Let my life be hid in Thee,
When my foes are ga­ther­ing round;
Covered with Thy pa­no­ply,
Safe with­in Thy ho­ly ground.

Let my life be hid in Thee;
From vex­ation and an­noy;
Calm in Thy tran­quil­ity,
All my mourn­ing turned to joy.

Let my life be hid in Thee;
When my strength and health shall fail,
Let Thine im­mor­tal­ity
In my dy­ing hour pre­vail.

Let my life be hid in Thee;
In the world, and yet above;
Hid in Thine eter­ni­ty,
In the ocean of Thy love.
