968. Hiding in His Mercy

1 God is my keeper, whom shall I fear?
Though burdens press me,
His hands caress me;
With grace to bless me,
Jesus is near.

Refrain:
In His mercy I will hide,
In His mercy I will hide;
In His pity He redeemed me,
In His mercy I will safely hide.

2 God is my portion; in life’s dark hour
He will uphold me,
Thus He hath told me;
His arms enfold me
With keeping pow’r. [Refrain]

3 God is my comfort, courage and rest,
He’ll not forsake me,
Strong He will make me,
Till He shall take me
Home with the blest. [Refrain]

4 God will be with me, faithful is He;
Friends are betraying,
Fond hopes decaying,
Still He is saying,
“Trust thou in Me.” [Refrain]
