Safe in Jehovah’s Keeping

lyricist: Robert Anderson, 1899
Composer: Daniel Towner, 1912

Safe in Je­ho­vah’s keep­ing

Led by His glo­ri­ous arm

God is Him­self my re­fuge

A pre­sent help from harm.

Fears may at times dis­tress me

Griefs may my soul an­noy;

God is my strength and por­tion

God my ex­ceed­ing joy.

Safe in Je­ho­vah’s keep­ing

Led by His glo­ri­ous arm

God is Him­self my re­fuge

A pre­sent help from harm.

Safe in Je­ho­vah’s keep­ing

Safe in temp­ta­tion’s hour

Safe in the midst of per­ils

Kept by al­migh­ty pow­er.

Safe when the tem­pest rag­es

Safe though the night be long;

E’en when my sky is dark­est

God is my strength and song.

Sure is Je­ho­vah’s pro­mise

Naught can my hope as­sail;

Here is my soul’s sure an­chor

Entered with­in the veil.

Blest in His love eter­nal

What can I want be­side!

Safe through the blood that cleans­eth

Safe in the Christ that died.
