<blockquote>
|
|
<p>On April 30, 1868, Dr. W. H. Doane came into my house and said, “I have exactly forty minutes before my train leaves for Cincinnati. Here is a melody. Can you write words for it?” I replied that I would see what I could do. Then followed a space of twenty minutes during which I was wholly unconscious of all else except the work I was doing. At the end of that time I recited the words to “Safe in the Arms of Jesus.” Mr. Doane copied
|
|
them, and had time to catch his train.</p>

|
|
<p>Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast,<br>
|
|
There by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest.<br>
|
|
Hark! ’tis the voice of angels, borne in a song to me.<br>
|
|
Over the fields of glory, over the jasper sea.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast<br>
|
|
There by His love o’ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest.</p>
|
|
<p>Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe from corroding care,<br>
|
|
Safe from the world’s temptations, sin cannot harm me there.<br>
|
|
Free from the blight of sorrow, free from my doubts and fears;<br>
|
|
Only a few more trials, only a few more tears!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Jesus, my heart’s dear Refuge, Jesus has died for me;<br>
|
|
Firm on the Rock of Ages, ever my trust shall be.<br>
|
|
Here let me wait with patience, wait till the night is over;<br>
|
|
Wait till I see the morning break on the golden shore.</p>
