Hail Sovereign Love that Formed the Plan {Hail Sovereign Love that Formed the Plan HIDING PLACE-Dr. Thomas Hastings Hail, Sovereign Love, that Formed the Plan } Hail, sovereign love, that formed the plan To save rebellious, ruined man! Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, That gave my soul a hiding place. Against the God that rules the sky I fought, with weapons lifted high, I madly ran the sinful race Regardless of a hiding place. Yet when God's justice rose in view, To Sinai's burning mount I flew; Keen were the pangs of my distress The mountain was no hiding place. But a celestial voice I heard A bleeding Saviour then appeared, Led by the Spirit of his grace I found in him a hiding place. On him the weight of vengeance fell, That else had sunk a world to hell; Then, O my soul, forever praise Thy Saviour God, thy hiding place!
