The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#759

759. 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.
