Thou hidden source of calm repose

Thou hidden source of calm repose,
Thou all-sufficient love divine;
My help and refuge from my foes,
Secure I am, if Thou art mine;
From sin and grief, from guilt and shame,
I hide me, Jesus, in Thy name.
2
Jesus, my All in all Thou art,
My rest in toil, mine ease in pain;
The med'cine of my broken heart;
In war, my peace; in loss, my gain;
My smile beneath the tyrant's frown;
In shame, my glory and my crown.
3
In want, my plentiful supply;
In weakness, mine almighty power;
In bonds, my perfect liberty;
My light in Satan's darkest hour;
In grief, my joy unspeakable;
My life in death; my Lord, my all.

Verse 1½

Thy mighty name salvation is,

And keeps my happy soul above;

Comfort it brings, and power, and peace,

And joy, and everlasting love:

To me with Thy dear name are given

Pardon, and holiness, and heaven.

This was my late husband's favorite hymn. I got to love it more after he passed on in March 2018. It calms my heart whenever I sing it.

"In want, my plentiful supply". I usually sing this hymn whenever I need Him - repose, help, refuge, ease, liberty, light, joy, life, etc. This hymn reminds me that whatever I need is in Him. And I'm greatly comforted after singing this.

Stanza 4 is added:

4. Thou hidden source of calm repose,

Thou all-sufficient love divine,

In Thee I'd hide, myself enclose,

And in Thy presence sweet recline:

Thou art to me my all in all,

Enjoyment inexhaustible.
