Refrain: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on his gentle breast, There by his love o'ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. 2 Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world's temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears, Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears. [Refrain] 3 Jesus, my heart's dear Refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o'er, Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore. [Refrain] Amen. Scripture: Mark 10:16 Used With Tune: SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS

In my visions and dreams, Its bright, jasper walls I can see; Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me, Between the fair city and me; Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me. 3 That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stands; The King of all kingdoms forever is he, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands; The King of all kingdoms forever is he, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands. 4 O how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain, With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again, To meet one another again; With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again.

Who knows how near my end may be?

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Countess Emilia Juliana Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Death Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my end may be? Time speeds away, and death comes on. How swiftly, ah, how suddenly, May death be here, and life be gone! My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 2 O Father, cover all my sins With Jesus' merits, who alone The pardon that I covet wins, And makes His long-sought Rest my own. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 3 Then death may come or tarry yet; I know in Christ I perish not. He never will His own forget; He gives me robes without a spot. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 4 And thus I live in God at peace, And die without a thought of fear, Content to take what God decrees, For through His Son my faith is clear; His grace shall be in death my stay, And peace shall bless my dying day. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
