Respite

I hope that you have been blessed by our week of respite and peace. I thought this song rendered by George Beverly Shea was a wonderful conclusion to our thoughts this week....

It's a lovely old song penned by Fannie Crosby:

1. Safe in the arms of Jesus,

1. Safe on His gentle breast;

1. There by His love o’ershaded,

1. Sweetly my soul shall rest.

1. Hark! ’tis the voice of angels

1. Borne in a song to me,

1. Over the fields of glory,

1. 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.

1. Safe in the arms of Jesus,

1. Safe from corroding care,

1. Safe from the world’s temptations;

1. Sin cannot harm me there.

1. Free from the blight of sorrow,

1. Free from my doubts and fears;

1. Only a few more trials,

1. Only a few more tears!

1. Jesus, my heart’s dear Refuge,

1. Jesus has died for me;

1. Firm on the Rock of Ages

1. Ever my trust shall be.

1. Here let me wait with patience,

1. Wait till the night is o’er;

1. Wait till I see the morning

1. Break on the golden shore.

Blessings to all who pause here.
