| 1. Safe is my refuge,
sweet is my rest,
Ill cannot harm me,
nor foes e’er molest;
Jesus my spirit
so tenderly calms,
Holding me close
in His mighty arms.
Refrain.
Oh! what wonderful,
wonderful rest!
Trusting completely
in Jesus I’m blest;
Sweetly He comforts
and shields from alarms,
Holding me safe
in His mighty arms.
2. Pressing my tear stained
cheek to His own,
Hushing my grief
with His sweet gentle tone;
Touching my heart
with His healing balms,
Holding me still
in His mighty arms.
Refrain.
Oh! what wonderful,
wonderful rest!
Trusting completely
in Jesus I’m blest;
Sweetly He comforts
and shields from alarms,
Holding me safe
in His mighty arms.
3. Tempests may rage,
sin’s surges may beat,
Ne’er can they reach
my sheltered retreat;
Free from all danger,
from dread alarms,
Resting so safe
in His mighty arms.
Refrain.
Oh! what wonderful,
wonderful rest!
Trusting completely
in Jesus I’m blest;
Sweetly He comforts
and shields from alarms,
Holding me safe
in His mighty arms.
