Safe in the Arms of Jesus

<p>Safe in the arms of Jesus,<br> Safe on His gentle breast,<br> There by His love o’ershaded,<br> Sweetly my soul shall rest.<br> Hark! ’tis the voice of angels,<br> Borne in a song to me,<br> Over the fields of glory,<br> Over the jasper sea.</p> <blockquote>Safe in the arms of Jesus,<br> Safe on His gentle breast,<br> There by His love o’ershaded,<br> Sweetly my soul shall rest.</blockquote> <p>Safe in the arms of Jesus,<br> Safe from corroding care,<br> Safe from the world’s temptations,<br> Sin cannot harm me there.<br> Free from the blight of sorrow,<br> Free from my doubts and fears;<br> Only a few more trials,<br> Only a few more tears.</p> <p>Jesus, my heart’s dear refuge,<br> Jesus has died for me;<br> Firm on the Rock of Ages,<br> Ever my trust shall be.<br> Here let me wait with patience,<br> Wait till the night is o’er;<br> Wait till I see the morning<br> Break on the golden shore.<br> <em>—Frances (Fanny) Jane Crosby</em></p>
