263. My Hiding Place

1 Give me, my God, I pray,
Out of myself to flee,
To hide my life in Thee,
And there abide alway.

2 None other place have I
Where from my foe to hide,
And from myself, beside
Thyself, O God Most High.

3 As Thou, O Christ, didst hide
When in the flesh below,
Veiled in Thy father, so
In Thee would I abide.

4 Hid in the Christ who died,
My life in Thine outpoured!
Hid in the living Lord,
O thou, my soul, abide.
