Hymn 871
Safe in the arms of Jesus
Meter: 7.6.7.6.D. & Ref.
Scripture: Deut. 33:27
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 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 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.
