154. The Everlasting Arms

1 I have laid my all, dear Saviour, at Thy feet,
And my faith I have anchored on Thee;
In the arms of love, Thy everlasting arms,
I shall rest where’er I may be.

Refrain:
I can lift my eyes to the sunlit skies,
And the hills on yonder shore;
In the arms of love, Thy everlasting arms,
There is rest, sweet rest evermore.

2 In the arms of love, Thy everlasting arms,
Tho’ the storm and the tempest may roll,
Thro’ the rifting clouds I see the polar star,
And its light still shines o’er my soul. [Refrain]

3 In the arms of love, Thy everlasting arms,
I am safe tho’ temptation assail;
For I trust Thy word, Thy precious word of life,
And its truth I know cannot fail. [Refrain]

4 In the arms of love, Thy everlasting arms,
What a moment of bliss will be mine,
When I hear Thy voice, Thy welcome, welcome voice,
And behold Thy glory divine. [Refrain]
