Hail, sovereign Love! that formed the plan
To save rebellious, ruined man;
Hail! matchless, free, eternal Grace
That gave my soul a hiding-place.
Against the God who rules the sky
I fought, with hand uplifted high;
I madly ran the sinful race,
Regardless of a hiding-place.
Indignant Justice stood in view;
To Sinai’s burning mount I flew:
But Justice cried, with frowning face,
“This mountain is no hiding-place.”
Ere long a heavenly voice I heard;
A bleeding Saviour then appeared:
Led by the Spirit of his grace,
I found in him a hiding-place.
On him the weight of vengeance fell,
That else had sunk a world to hell;
Then, O my soul! for ever praise
Thy Saviour God, thy hiding-place!
