Hymn 222
SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS
Verse 1
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on gentle breast,
Here by love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest,
Hark! ‘tis the voice of angels,
Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea.
Safe on gentle breast,
Here by love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest,
Hark! ‘tis the voice of angels,
Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea.
Chorus
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
Hear by his love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
Safe on his gentle breast,
Hear by his love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
Verse 2
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.
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.
Chorus
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
Hear by his love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
Safe on his gentle breast,
Hear by his love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
Verse 3
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.
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.
Chorus
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
Hear by his love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
Safe on his gentle breast,
Hear by his love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
