Charles Wesley, one of the great Methodist hymn writers, wrote Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose in 1749.
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:
And lo, from sin, and grief, and shame / I hide me, Jesus, in thy name.
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.
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.
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 in hell.
