Lyrics

I am saved in Christ my Sav­ior,
And my sins are all for­giv­en;
Now by faith I’m tra­vel­ing on­ward
To my home in yon­der Heav’n.
Earthly cares may oft sur­round me,
Trials come on ev­ery hand,
But my Sav­ior keeps me saf­ely
In the hol­low of His hand.

Refrain

And I know, if I am faithful,
I shall see Him in that land,
For His promise is He’ll keep me
In the hollow of His hand.

I am saved in Christ my Sav­ior;
Tho’ the waves about me roll,
I am on the Rock of Ag­es,
And He saves my trust­ing soul;
And I know, if I am faith­ful,
I shall see Him in that land,
For His pro­mise is He’ll keep me
In the hol­low of His hand.

Refrain

I am saved in Christ my Sav­ior!
Oh, what joy to me is given!
For I’m think­ing of the man­sion
He’s pre­pared for me in Hea­ven;
There are ma­ny, ma­ny man­sions
For them in that hap­py land,
Who will have the Sav­ior keep them
In the hol­low of His hand.
