In the shadow of His hand hath He hid me.
Isaiah 49:2
Words & Music: Lelia N. Morris, 1908 (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a better photo of Morris,
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.
