Cradled in the Arms of Love

Representative Text

1 God is a ve­ry pres­ent help
In trou­ble’s dark­est hour,
To those who know His sav­ing strength,
And trust His migh­ty pow’r.

Refrain:
Cradled in the arms of love,
Cradled in the arms of love,
The child of God may safe­ly rest,
Cradled in the arms of love.

2 E’en tho’ the whelm­ing floods pre­vail,
And rocks and mount­ains fall,
The trust­ing soul can nev­er fail,
But tri­umph over all. [Refrain]

3 A riv­er bright of truth and grace,
Proceedeth from God’s throne,
Refreshing all who seek His face,
His chos­en and His own. [Refrain]

4 The na­tions to and fro are tossed,
As with the stor­my wind;
Their an­chor nev­er can be lost,
Who God a re­fuge find. [Refrain]

5 He mak­eth war on earth to cease,
He breaks the spear and bow;
His glor­ious king­dom shall in­crease
And con­quer ev­ery foe. [Refrain]

6 God doth among His peo­ple dwell,
Their strength doth ne’er re­move;
Whate’er be­tide, with them ’tis well,
Safe in their Fa­ther’s love. [Refrain]
