Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul doth rest. Hark! ’tis a song of heaven Borne in the sweetest voice, Echoed by saints in spirit, Making my heart rejoice. |
| Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul doth rest. |

Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world’s temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears; Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears. |

Jesus, my heart’s dear Refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o’er, Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore. |
Do not consider this as a hymn used during a funeral. Do not wait until you die to enjoy the arms of Jesus when you can enjoy them today. The hymns we sing in the home meetings need not be fully in line with the fellowship in the meeting. Do not be legal. The hymns we select depend fully on whether we have the Spirit or not. If in your daily life you let the Lord make home in you, and if you are being transformed into His image by beholding His glory with unveiled face, then He will lead you. You will sense the nourishing and comforting within. The Lord may give you a hymn. Then you come to the meeting. You may be the first one in the meeting, but you do not need to wait for others. You just begin to sing, "Safe in the arms of Jesus...." As you sing you bring the spiritual atmosphere into the meeting. Those who come later will join the singing and the meeting will begin spontaneously.

Myself and my youngest brother at first just fell in love with the tune of this very hymn. Because we were so young that we couldn't really interpret the heavenly inspirational words said in the hymn. Meanwhile, our mother of blessed memory, loved the hymn so much that she must select it to be sung at least a night in every single week. It obviously her favorite. But as we grew, we got to know and feel the powerful words mentioned therein. Those words are very heavy that it blows my head off each time I try to sing it. God bless the writer... He must be singing with the angels in heaven.... Hallelujah 🙌🙌🙌

No other place is safe except with Jesus Christ. He's my refuge and I'm glad He's mine always by my side. I have no fears

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ”
Romans 8:37-39 KJV
Keep me resting keep me trusting keep me praising keep me loving you dear Lord!

The words of this song came to me as we were reading our devotional for the day! I couldn't remember all the words--only the chorus! I looked thru my hymnals and could not find it. Was so happy to find it here so I could sing the whole song! Thank You! So often words of songs long forgotten come to me as I am reading scripture and give me solace. Songs that were learned as children are so important because they come to you when you need them.

I was praying with my wife and worshipping The Lord as the air is filled with the pandemic shocks, suddenly this song burst through my mouth. I became completely at rest, because I realized The Holt Spirit thrust this song on us to know that The Lord Jesus has been in control and we need not fear. Later, I took time to review all words of the song. How glorious they are?

In the midst of raging Corona virus, the Lord lay this song on my heart today. Great emphasis on stanza 3
" Wait till the night is o’er,
Wait till I see the morning".
Safe in the arms of Jesus.
