Texts

Savior, Teach Me, Day by Day

Lord, a Little Band

Safely, Safely Gathered In

Safely, safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow, far from sin,
No more childish griefs or fears,
No more sadness, no more tears;
For the life so young and fair
Now hath passed from earthly care;
God Himself the soul will keep,
Giving His beloved sleep.
