Safe in Christ

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Jun 9, 1903

He who in Christ abideth dwelleth at home, To those that mansion hideth no harm can come; Christ all the wanderers guideth with a good shepherd’s care, Where the still water glideth, where the green pastures are.

He who for Christ forsaketh love’s clinging ties, Who for his Saviour maketh the sacrifice, Such his compassion taketh to share his Father’s breast, And the tired pilgrim waketh in his eternal rest.

He whom the Saviour healeth hath lost all pain, Whoe’er for mercy kneeleth ne’er asks in vain; He who his Lord confesseth, though else unknown, The Saviour loveth, blesseth, calleth his own.

He life and peace receiveth through Jesus’ name; He whom the Lord forgiveth, who shall condemn? To him whom Christ delighteth sorrow and joy are sweet; The bliss his smile uplighteth shall never fleet.
