| Text: | There is a safe and secret place |
| Author: | Henry F. Lyte |
| Tune: | COMMUNION |
| Composer: | Stephen Jenks |
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.
