Hide Me, O My Savior

“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.” Psalm 17:8

Charles Wesley was walking through the woods on a stormy day when a lightning storm broke out and the rain began to come down in torrents. A bolt of lightning flashed and a little bird was so frightened that it flew down to Wesley and it tried to hide in his coat. He was so moved by the scene that he wrote a song that we often sing:

Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide, ‘til the storm of life is past;
Safe unto the haven guide, O receive my soul at last.

That’s what our Lord does. He hides us, sustains us, and keeps us.
