Sheet music

  1. 1I am safe, whatever may betide me;I am safe, whoever may deride me;I am safe, as long as I confide meIn the hollow of God’s hand.In the hollow, hollow of His hand,(In the hollow, in the hollow of His hand,)In the hollow, hollow of His hand;(In the hollow, in the hollow of His hand;)I am safe while God Himself doth hold meIn the hollow of His hand.
  2. 2What tho’ fierce the stormy blasts roar round me;What tho’ sore life’s trials oft confound me;I am safe, for naught of ill can wound meIn the hollow of God’s hand.In the hollow, hollow of His hand,(In the hollow, in the hollow of His hand,)In the hollow, hollow of His hand;(In the hollow, in the hollow of His hand;)I am safe while God Himself doth hold meIn the hollow of His hand.
  3. 3Everlasting arms of love enfold me;Words of peace the voice divine has told me;I am safe, while God Himself doth hold meIn the hollow of His hand.In the hollow, hollow of His hand,(In the hollow, in the hollow of His hand,)In the hollow, hollow of His hand;(In the hollow, in the hollow of His hand;)I am safe while God Himself doth hold meIn the hollow of His hand.
