Safe in the Arms of Jesus

Text by: Fanny Crosby
Tune by: William Doane
Source: Broadman 1940 Hymnal #353
Choice Hymns of the Faith 1945 #535
Trinity Hymnal No 608

Here is my complete recording of the Broadman 1940 Hymnbook:

1 Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark! ’tis the voice of angels, borne in a song to me.
Over the fields of glory, over the jasper sea.

Refrain

Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast
There by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest.

2 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!

Refrain

3 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 over;
Wait till I see the morning break on the golden shore.

Refrain

ON THE NIGHT OF 4/19/1933 WE HAD A TERRIBLE STORM. HEAVY LIGHTNING, THUNDER SHOOK THE WINDOWS, & RAIN POURED ALL NIGHT. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE AT THE HOUSE & THEY SENT US 3 " VIRGINIA, JUANITA, JOE JR" NEXT DOOR TO SLEEP. IT WAS MORNING WHEN THEY GOT US TO TELL HIM GOODBYE.

Couplet
Sur toi je me repose,
Ô Jésus, mon Sauveur !
Faut-il donc autre chose
Pour un pauvre pécheur ?
Conduit par ta lumière,
Gardé par ton amour,
Vers la maison du Père
Marchant de jour en jour...

Refrain
Sur toi je me repose,
Ô Jésus, mon Sauveur !
Faut-il donc autre chose
Pour un pauvre pécheur ?

Couplet
Ah ! Ma misère est grande,
Mais tu m’as pardonné;
Sainte et vivante offrande
Pour moi tu t’es donné;
Et de toute souillure,
Par le sang de ta croix,
Mon âme devient pure;
Tu l’as dit, je le crois !

Couplet
Moi-même en sacrifice,
Immolé désormais;
Seigneur à ton service
Me voici pour jamais !
Qu’importe ma faiblesse,
Puisque je t’appartiens :
Tu n’as point de richesse
Qui ne soit pour les tiens.

Couplet
Au plus fort de l'orage,
Tu te tiens près de moi,
Ranimant mon courage
Et soutenant ma foi ;
C'est dans ton cœur qui m'aime
Que tu sais me cacher ;
En vain Satan lui-même
Voudrait m'en arracher…

Couplet
En toi j’ai la victoire,
La paix, la liberté;
À toi je rendrai gloire
Durant l’éternité.
Si du bonheur qui passe
La source doit tarir,
C’est assez de ta grâce
Pour vivre et pour mourir
