Safe in the Arms of Jesus

Fanny J. Crosby, 1823-1915

William H. Doane

1. 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 song to me,
   O-ver the fields of glory
   O-ver the jasper sea.
   
2. Safe in the arms of Jesus
   Safe from corroding care,
   Safe from the worlds temptations
   Sin cannot harm me there.
   Free from the blight of sorrow,
   Free from doubts and fears;
   Here let me wait with patience,
   Wait till the night is o'er;
   Only a few more trials,
   Only a few more tears!
   
3. Jesus, my heart's dear refuge
   Jesus has died for me;
   Firm on the rock of Ages
   Ever my trust shall be.
   Wait till I see the morning
   Break on the golden shore.
