Safely, Safely, Gathered In
VERSE 1
Safely,
safely, gathered in,
Far from
sorrow, far from sin,
No more
childish griefs or fears,
No more
sadness, no more tears;
For the
life so young and fair
Now hath
passed from earthly care;
God
Himself the soul will keep,
Giving
His beloved—sleep.
VERSE 2
Safely,
safely, gathered in,
Far from
sorrow, far from sin,
Passed
beyond all grief and pain,
Death
for thee is truest gain;
For our
loss we must not weep,
Nor our
loved ones long to keep
From the
home of rest and peace,
Where
all sin and sorrow cease.
VERSE 3
Safely,
safely, gathered in,
Far from
sorrow, far from sin,
God has
saved from weary strife,
In its
dawn, this fresh young life;
Now it
waits for us above,
Resting
in the Savior’s love;
Jesu,
grant that we may meet
There,
adoring, at Thy feet.
