912. SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS


SAFE in the arms of Jesus
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’er shaded
Sweetly my soul shall rest
Hark! ‘tis the voice of angels,
Borne in a song to me,
Over the field of glory
Over the jasper sea.

CHORUS

Safe in the arms of Jesus
Safe on His gentle breast
There by His love o’er shaded
Sweetly my soul shall 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
