Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Songs for Work and Worship #43 (1900) First Line: Let others choose pleasures of sin if they may Refrain First Line: I'm on the safe side Lyrics: 1 Let others choose pleasures of sin if they may,
But I have found something far better than they,
For since the religion of Jesus I’ve tried
My own conscience tells me I’m on the safe side.
Chorus:
I’m on the safe side,
I’m on the safe side;
In Christ my dear Savior thro’ faith I’ll abide,
Then living or dying I’m on the safe side.
2 This world and its follies will soon pass away,
But Christ and his kingdom endureth for aye;
When I weigh earth’s pleasures, its snares and its pride
Against heav’nly glory, I’m on the safe side. [Chorus]
3 The tempter with doubtings my soul would appall,
By trying to whisper that death endeth all,
But he cannot turn me from where I abide,
For God’s Spirit tells me, I’m on the safe side. [Chorus]
4 Within God’s own Bible I find written down
That for self-denial Christ promis’d a crown,
A robe and a mansion just over the tide,
O glory to Jesus, I’m on the safe side. [Chorus]
