284. Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose

6-8s.
by C. Wesley

Thou hidden Source of calm repose!
 
Thou all-sufficient Love divine!
 
Our help and refuge from our foes,
 
Secure we are, for we are Thine;
 
And, lo! from guilt and grief and shame
 
We’re hidden, Savior, by Thy name.

Thy mighty name Salvation is,
 
And keeps our happy souls above;
 
Comfort it brings, and power and peace
 
And joy and everlasting love;
 
To us, with Thy dear name, are given
 
Pardon and holiness and heaven.

Jesus, our all in all Thou art,
 
Our rest in toil, our ease in pain;
 
The medicine of a broken heart;
 
Mid storms, our peace; in loss, our gain;
 
Our smile beneath the tyrant’s frown:
 
In shame, our glory and our crown.

In want, our plentiful supply;
 
In weakness, our almighty power;
 
In bonds, our perfect liberty;
 
Our refuge in temptation’s hour;
 
Our comfort, midst all grief and thrall,
 
Our life in death, our all in all.

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)
