Finding joy in the everyday

Something peaceful to enjoy

Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast; There by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. Hark! ’tis the voice of angels Borne in a song to me, Over the fields of glory, Over the jasper sea. Refrain: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast; There by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world’s temptations; Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears; Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears! Jesus, my heart’s dear Refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o’er; Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore.

(Leviticus 11:13-17) I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert. (Psalm 102:6) The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land (Song of Solomon 2:12) He also sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had gone down from off ...
