Safe

Robert Anderson • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:27

Verse 1

Safe in Jehovah’s keeping, Led by His glorious arm, God is Himself my refuge, A present help from harm. Fears may at times distress me, Griefs may my soul annoy; God is my strength and portion, God my exceeding joy.

Chorus

Safe in Jehovah’s keeping, Led by His glorious arm, God is Himself my refuge, A present help from harm.

Verse 2

Safe in Jehovah’s keeping, Safe in temptation’s hour, Safe in the midst of perils, Kept by almighty power. Safe when the tempest rages, Safe though the night be long; E’en when my sky is darkest God is my strength and song.

Chorus

Safe in Jehovah’s keeping, Led by His glorious arm, God is Himself my refuge, A present help from harm.

Verse 3

Sure is Jehovah’s promise, Naught can my hope assail; Here is my soul’s sure anchor, Entered within the veil. Blest in His love eternal, What can I want beside! Safe through the blood that cleanseth, Safe in the Christ that died.

Chorus

Safe in Jehovah’s keeping, Led by His glorious arm, God is Himself my refuge, A present help from harm.
