The Secret Place

[Verse 1]
Who dwells within His most secret place
Is never far from His blessed grace
’Neath His great shadow all will be well;
No better place now for us to dwell

[Refrain]
The secret place of God most high
The shadow of our mighty King
The dwelling place where angels cry
Is where our praise will forever ring

[Verse 2]
Fear not the terror that comes at night
Nor flaming arrows by morning light
His truth is always our sword and shield;
Against His power all foes must yield

[Verse 3]
A thousand fall now at ev’ry side;
Ten thousand more may have yet to die
Yet plague and sword can ne’er kill the soul;
His angels guard us now safe and whole

[Verse 4]
Refuge and fortress for all who trust
No safer pasture for men of dust
’Neath wings and feathers of Holy Lord;
No greater comfort can He afford
