| 1. | Safe in the arms of Jesus, |
| | Safe on His gentle breast, |
| | There by His love o'ershaded, |
| | Sweetly my soul doth rest. |
| | Hark! 'tis a song of heaven |
| | Borne in the sweetest voice, |
| | Echoed by saints in spirit, |
| | Making my heart rejoice. |
| | Safe in the arms of Jesus, |
| | Safe on His gentle breast, |
| | There by His love o'ershaded, |
| | Sweetly my soul doth rest. |
| 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. |
| 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 my wait with patience, |
| | Wait till the night is o'er, |
| | Wait till I see the morning |
| | Break on the golden shore. |
