Safe in the arms of Jesus

Safe in the arms of Jesus

Safe on His gentle breast

There by His love o’ershaded

Sweetly my soul doth rest.

Hark! ’tis a song of heaven

Borne in the sweetest voice

Echoed by saints in spirit

Making my heart rejoice.

Safe in the arms of Jesus

Safe on His gentle breast

There by His love o’ershaded

Sweetly my soul doth rest.

Safe in the arms of Jesus

Safe from corroding care

Safe from the world’s temptations

Sin cannot harm me there.

Free from the blight of sorrow

Free from my doubts and fears;

Only a few more trials

Only a few more tears.

Jesus

my heart’s dear Refuge

Jesus has died for me;

Firm on the Rock of Ages

Ever my trust shall be.

Here let me wait with patience

Wait till the night is o’er

Wait till I see the morning

Break on the golden shore.
