The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#228

228. There Is a Safe and Secret Place

1 There is a safe and secret place
Beneath the wings divine,
Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O be that refuge mine!

2 The least and feeblest there may bide,
Uninjured and unawed;
While thousands fall on every side
He rests secure in God.

3 He feeds in pastures, large and fair
Of love and truth Divine;
O child of God, O glory's heir,
How rich a lot is thine.
!

4 A hand almighty to defend,
An ear for every call,
An honored life, a peaceful end,
And heaven to crown it all!

Amen.
