The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6780

6780. There Is a Safe and Secret Place

1. There is a safe and secret place,
Beneath the wings divine,
Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O be that refuge mine!

2. The least and feeblest there may bide,
Uninjured and unawed;
While thousands fall on every side,
He rests secure in God.

3. He feeds in pastures, large and fair,
Of love and truth divine,
O child of God, O glory’s heir,
How rich a lot is thine!

4. A hand almighty to defend,
An ear for every call,
An honored life, a peaceful end,
And Heaven to crown it all!
