Safety and Security in the Arms of Jesus

Verse 1

God of my life, whose gracious power Through various deaths my soul hath led; Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head:

Verse 2

In all my ways Thy hand I own, Thy ruling Providence I see: O help me still my course to run, And still direct my path to Thee.

Verse 3

Whither, O whither should I fly But to my loving Savior's breast? Secure within Thine arms to lie, And safe beneath Thy wings to rest!

Verse 4

I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou, O Christ, my Wisdom art! I ever into ruin run: But Thou art greater than my heart.

Verse 5

Foolish, and impotent, and blind, Lead me a way I have not known; Bring me where I my heaven may find, The heaven of loving Thee alone.

Verse 6

Enlarge my heart to make Thee room; Enter, and in me ever stay: The crooked then shall straight become; The darkness shall be lost in day.
