Hide Me

Hide me, O my Savior, hide me
In Thy holy place;
Resting there beneath Thy glory,
O let me see Thy face.

Refrain

Hide me, hide me,
O blessèd Savior, hide me;
O Savior, keep me,
Safely, O Lord, with Thee.

Hide me, when the storm is raging
O’er life’s troubled sea;
Like a dove on ocean’s billows,
O let me fly to Thee.

Refrain

Hide me, when my heart is breaking
With its weight of woe;
When in tears I seek the comfort
Thou canst alone bestow.

Refrain

Author: Fanny Crosby

Year: 1885

Fanny Crosby (Frances Jane Crosby) is the most likely author; the style, meter, and themes (hiding in the Savior, storm imagery, dove on billows) are characteristic of her work. The hymn appears in late-19th-century collections often credited to her, though a few sources list it as anonymous or under a pseudonym.
