Place of repair: O blessed place of refuge!
How gladly will I come to meet Him there,
To cease awhile from all the joy of service
To find a deeper joy with Him to share.
Place is repair: for tired brain and body!
How much I need that place just out of sight
Where only He can talk, and beside me,
Until again made strong by His great might.
Place of repair: when trials press upon me
And God permits the unexpected test,
'Tis there I learn some lesson sweet and precious
As simply on His faithfulness I rest.
Place of repair: the place to take my sorrow,
The thing that hurts and would be hard to bear,
But somehow in the secret place I'm finding
That all the hurt is healed since He is there.
Place of repair: to wait for fresh enduement
I silently wait with Him aloe would stay
Until He speaks again, and says, "Go forward
To help some other sheep to find the way."
Place of repair: O trysting-place most hallowed,
The Lord Himself is just that place to me,
His grace, His strength, His glory and His triumph,
Himself alone my all-sufficiency.
