Let my life be hid in thee,

Life of life, and Light of light!

Love’s illimitable Sea!

Depth of peace, of power the Hight.

2 Let my life be hid in thee,

When my foes are gathering round;

Covered with thy panoply,

Safe within thy holy ground.

3 Let my life be hid in thee,

From vexation and annoy;

Calm in thy tranquillity,

All my mourning turned to joy.

4 Let my life be hid in thee;

When my strength and health shall fail,

Let thine immortality

In my dying hour prevail.
