1 Sometime the storms of life will cease,
And I shall be at rest and peace;
And then I’ll see my Saviour King,
And with redeemed ones I shall sing.

Refrain:
I’m safe at last, yes safe at last,
And all my earthly sorrows past,
Tho’ storms may roll, from pole to pole,
I’m safe at last, I’m safe at last.

2 Sometime this earthly house will fall,
But that will matter not at all,
For there’s a home prepared for me,
Where I shall sing eternally. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ dark this world may be to me,
And oft my path I cannot see,
Yet there is light beyond the main,
And there I’ll sing this glad refrain: [Refrain]
