Thou hidden source of calm repose,

by Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 169 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

Jesus, my all in all Thou art, My rest in toil, my ease in pain; The medicine 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.

Verse 4

In want, my plentiful supply; In weakness, my almighty power; In bonds, my perfect liberty; My light in Satan's darkest hour; In grief, my joy unspeakable; My life in death; my heaven, my all.
