Safe is my refuge, sweet is my rest, Ill cannot harm me, nor foes e’er molest; Jesus my spirit so tenderly calms, Holding me close in His mighty arms. Refrain Oh! what wonderful, wonderful rest! Trusting completely in Jesus I’m blest; Sweetly He comforts and shields from alarms, Holding me safe in His mighty arms. 2. Pressing my tear stained cheek to His own, Hushing my grief with His sweet gentle tone; Touching my heart with His healing balms, Holding me still in His mighty arms. [Refrain] 3.

W. Macomber

1865 - 1896 Person Name: Winfield Macomber, 1865-1896 Author of "Held in His Mighty Arms" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: September 15, 1865, Bucksport, Maine. Died: October 19, 1896, Lisbon, Portugal. Often misidentified as "William," Macomber came to Christ at age 16, then worked distributing materials for the American Bible Society. In 1890, he enrolled at the New York Missionary Training Institute (later renamed Nyack College), and in 1892 went to the Congo for the International Missionary Alliance. He returned to America a year later for health reasons, and in 1894 began teaching the Congolese language at his alma mater. He compiled an English-Fioti grammar and dictionary for use by missionaries, and in 1896 returned to missionary work in the Congo. Once again, ill health forced his departure, but he never made it to America, and succumbed in Portugal. © The Cyber Hymnal™ (www.hymntime.com/tch)
