Lyrics

Blest re­ve­la­tion, won­drous sal­va­tion,
God in love doth for the lost of earth pro­vide;
Sins like a mount­ain, lost in the fount­ain,
Calv’ry’s stream for­ev­er flows, a cleans­ing tide.

Refrain

Safe in the hol­low of His hand,
Safe in the hol­low of His hand,
To His pro­mise cling­ing, ev­er­more I’m sing­ing,
I am safe with­in the hol­low of God’s hand.

Nothing can harm me, naught can alarm me,
Fiercely tho’ the tem­pest rage o’er sea and land;
Waking or sleep­ing, safe in His keep­ing,
Kept with­in the hol­low of His migh­ty hand.

Refrain

Come all ye bur­dened, and hea­vy la­den,
Without doubt­ing all your cares up­on Him roll;
Gracious for­ev­er, strong to de­liv­er,
Ye shall sure­ly find sweet rest un­to your soul.

Refrain
