Safe is my re­fuge, sweet is my rest,
Ill can­not harm me, nor foes e’er mo­lest;
Jesus my spir­it so ten­der­ly calms,
Holding me close in His migh­ty arms.

Refrain

Oh! what won­der­ful, won­der­ful rest!
Trusting com­plete­ly in Je­sus I’m blest;
Sweetly He com­forts and shields from alarms,
Holding me safe in His migh­ty arms.

Pressing my tear stained cheek to His own,
Hushing my grief with His sweet gen­tle tone;
Touching my heart with His heal­ing balms,
Holding me still in His migh­ty arms.

Refrain

Tempests may rage, sin’s surg­es may beat,
Ne’er can they reach my shel­tered re­treat;
Free from all dan­ger, from dread alarms,
Resting so safe in His migh­ty arms.
