Blind poet Fanny Crosby wrote over 8,000 hymns, including "Blessed Assurance," "To God Be the Glory," "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior," "Rescue the Perishing," "To the Work," "Praise Him, Praise Him," "In the Cross," "Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It," "I Am Thine, O Lord," and "Tell Me the Story of Jesus."
He Hideth My Soul
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
a wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
where rivers of pleasure I see.
Refrain:
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
that shadows a dry thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love
and covers me there with His hand,
and covers me there with His hand.
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved;
He giveth me strength as my day.
With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
and filled with His fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God
for such a Redeemer as mine!
When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
to meet Him clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love
I'll shout with the millions on high.
