|
Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast, |
|
There by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest. |
|
Hark! ’tis the voice of angels, borne in a song to me. |
|
Over the fields of glory, over the jasper sea. |
|
|
|
Refrain |
|
|
|
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
safe on His gentle breast |
|
There by His love
o’ershaded, 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! |
|
|
|
Refrain |
|
|
|
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 over; |
|
Wait till I see the morning break on the golden shore. |
|
|
|
