Safely, Safely, Gathered In

Safely

safe­ly

ga­thered in

Far from sor­row

far from sin

No more child­ish griefs or fears

No more sad­ness

no more tears;

For the life so young and fair

Now hath passed from earth­ly care;

God Him­self the soul will keep

Giving His be­lov­èd—sleep.

Safely

safe­ly

ga­thered in

Far from sor­row

far from sin

Passed be­yond all grief and pain

Death for thee is tru­est gain;

For our loss we must not weep

Nor our loved ones long to keep

From the home of rest and peace

Where all sin and sor­row cease.

Safely

sa­fely

ga­thered in

Far from sor­row

far from sin

God has saved from wea­ry strife

In its dawn

this fresh young life;

Now it waits for us above

Resting in the Sav­ior’s love;

Jesu

grant that we may meet

There

ad­or­ing

at Thy feet.
