718. O hidden source of calm repose

Author: Charles Wesley 1707-88

O hidden source of calm repose,
O all-sufficient love divine,
my help and refuge from my foes,
secure I am if you are mine:
and from all sin, and grief, and shame,
I shelter, Jesus, in your name.

2. Your mighty name salvation is,
and keeps my joyful soul above;
comfort it brings, and power, and peace,
and joy, and everlasting love:
to me, with your dear name, are given
pardon, and holiness, and heaven.

3. Master of all the healing 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.

4. In need my plentiful supply,
in weakness my almighty power,
in chains my perfect liberty,
my light in Satan’s darkest hour,
my help whenever I may call,
my life in death, my heaven, my all.
