Lyrics
I was straying when Christ found me
In the night so dark and cold;
Tenderly His arm went round me
And he bore me to His fold.
With His nail-scarred hand
He brought me
To the shelter of His love;
Of His grace and will He taught me,
And heav'nly rest above.
Through the night be dark around me,
I am safe, for He is near;
Never shall my foes confound me,
While the Saviour's voice I hear.
[Chorus]
Precious hiding place,
Precious hiding place,
In the shelter of His love;
Not a doubt or fear,
Since my Lord is near,
And I'm sheltered in His love.
