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 fields of glory

Over the jasper sea.

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 fear

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.
