10367. The Hollow Of God's Hand

1 I am safe, whatever may betide me;
I am safe, whoever may deride me;
I am safe, as long as I confide me
In the hollow of God’s hand.

Refrain:
In the hollow of His hand!
In the hollow of His hand!
I am safe while God Himself doth hold me
In the hollow of His hand.

2 What 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 me
In the hollow of God’s hand. [Refrain]

3 Everlasting arms of love enfold me;
Words of peace the voice divine has told me;
I am safe, while God Himself doth hold me,
In the hollow of His hand. [Refrain]
