| The scheme to rescue fallen man | A |
| Hail matchless free eternal grace | B |
| That gave my soul a Hiding Place | B |
| - | |
| Against the God that rules the sky | C |
| I fought with hands uplifted high | C |
| Despis'd the mentions of his grace | B |
| Too proud to seek a Hiding Place | B |
| - | |
| Enwrapt in thick Egyptian night | D |
| And fond of darkness more than light | D |
| Madly I ran the sinful race | B |
| Secure without a Hiding Place | B |

| Ere long a Heav'nly voice I heard | G |
| And Mercy's angel form appear'd | H |
| She led me on with placid pace | B |
| To Jesus as my Hiding Place | B |
| - | |
| Should storms of sevenfold thunder roll | I |
| And shake the globe from pole to pole | I |
| No flaming bolt should daunt my face | B |
| For Jesus is my Hiding Place | B |
| - | |
| On him almighty vengeance fell | J |
| That must have sunk the world to hell | J |
| He bore it for the chosen race | B |
| And thus became their Hiding Place | B |
| - | |
| A few more rolling suns at most | K |
| Shall land us on fair Canaan's coast | K |
| Where we shall sing the song of grace | B |
| And see our glorious Hiding Place | B |
