32. I'm Safe When I'm with Jesus

1 I'm safe when I'm with Jesus,
Though billows round me roll;
I know my blessed Saviour
Will ev'ry wave control.
Why need I fear and tremble,
When there can be no harm?
One word from my dear Jesus,
Will make the storm a calm.

Refrain:
I'm safe when I'm with Jesus,
He will my soul defend,
Will shelter me from danger,
And keep me to the end.

2 I'm safe when I'm with Jesus,
Though clouds my pathway hide,
I know when he is leading,
No ill can me betide;
Beyond the clouds that gather,
I see a golden light,
And so the shadows vanish,
And all my way is bright. [Refrain]

3 I'm safe when I'm with Jesus,
No doubts disturb my soul;
The Master's word assures me,
"Thy faith has made thee whole."
The Holy Ghost abideth,
And witnesseth within,
That Christ hath cleansed and pardoned,
And saved my soul from sin. [Refrain]
