An hidden God indeed Thou art

Verse 1
An hidden God indeed thou art!
Thine absence I this moment feel:
Yet must I own it from my heart,
Conceal’d, thou art a Saviour still,
And tho’ thy face I cannot see,
I know thine eye is fixt on me.

Verse 2
My Saviour thee, not yet reveal’d,
Yet will I thee my Saviour call,
Adore thy hand, from sin with-held;
Thy hand shall raise me from my fall,
Thou wilt throughout my darkness shine,
And shew thyself for ever mine.
