1 I am safely, safely sheltered
In His everlasting arm,
Made secure in Him forever
Where no foe can me alarm.

Refrain:
Ever sheltered, safely sheltered
In my Saviour’s love secure,
I rejoice in full salvation,
And my hope of heav’n is sure.

2 I am safely, safely sheltered,
Tho’ life’s storms around me roll,
For to God I have committed
All the keeping of my soul. [Refrain]

3 I am safely, safely sheltered,
And in Jesus feel secure,
For I have in Him salvation,
And an anchor steadfast, sure. [Refrain]
