Here's a wonderful old song based on Exodus 33:22:
When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.What a beautiful reminder of God as our refuge!
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 with His brightness transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.
WORDS: Fanny J. Crosby, 1890
MUSIC: William Kirkpatrick, 1890

I love this old hymn. Beautiful, soulful song.
Linda, I'm so glad you post some of these older songs. I love this one; especially the words that have such meaning especially as I've been studying the names of God.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
I know this song! I haven't heard it in years!
I just posted "On Eagle's Wings" but not for this weekly meme. I paired it with some photos I took Thursday.
Again a wonderful memory! This time I can see my dad singing it to his savior, with passion! Thanks Linda, it brings a tear!
I love the old songs. I like contemporary music but nothing can compare to the old hymns.
Thanks be to God our refuge.
One of my favorite hymns from my days growing up in a Baptist church.
This is one of my favorite hymns and it presents such a vivid image of how God will protect us.
It's been years since I've heard this song and I still remember every single word, and sang along. What a great memory and what beautiful words!
Beautiful hymn...
I love that beautiful hymn, Linda.
What a tenor!
