In the arms of my dear Sav­ior
I am rest­ing ev­ery day,
And His smiles like sun­beams
Fall up­on my face;
I am stand­ing on His pro­mise,
Where I shall for­ev­er stay,
And my heart is ov­er­flow­ing
With His grace.

Refrain

I am filled with grace and glo­ry,
And in Je­sus I abide;
I will tell the won­drous sto­ry,
Since my soul is sa­tis­fied.

Once I roamed in sin­ful dark­ness,
Over mount­ain, hill and plain,
Seeking ev­ery­where
For rest and find­ing none;
Yes, my search for sa­tis­fact­ion
While in sin was all in vain,
But I’ve found it in God’s
Well be­lov­èd Son.

Refrain

Long in sin I sought for plea­sure,
Something that would sa­tis­fy,
Something that would quench
The thirst­ing of my soul;
But I found that sin’s do­min­ion,
Naught I need­ed could sup­ply,
Then I turned to Je­sus,
And He made me whole.

Refrain

I am dwell­ing in that king­dom,
Where the day is al­ways bright,
And the spark­ling wa­ters
Of life’s ri­ver gleam,
Where the gloomy shades of dark­ness
Are dis­pelled by Hea­ven’s light;
And I’m ev­er drink­ing
Of that liv­ing stream.

Refrain
