There Is a Safe and Secret Place
Henry Francis Lyte (1836) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 17:8
Verse 1
There is a safe and secret place Beneath the wings divine Reserved for all the heirs of grace; Oh, be that refuge mine!
Verse 2
The least and feeblest there may bide Uninjured and unawed; While thousands fall on ev'ry side They rest secure in God.
Verse 3
The angels watch them on their way And aid with friendly arm; While Satan, roaring for his prey, May hate, but cannot harm.
Verse 4
They feed in pastures large and fair Of love and truth divine. O child of God, O Glory’s heir, How rich a lot is thine!
Verse 5
A hand almighty to defend, An ear for ev’ry call, An honored life, a peaceful end, And Heav’n to crown it all!
