In The Arms Of Jesus

by William H. Gardner

In the arms of Jesus,
I would be at rest,
Breathing out my sorrow
On His gentle breast.

In the arms of Jesus,
Looking in His face,
Beaming there upon me,
Full of tender grace.

In the arms of Jesus,
I would hear His voice,
And the sound would thrill me,
Making me rejoice.

In the arms of Jesus,
Trusting as a child,
Knowing He would lead me
Safe across the wild.

Chorus

In the arms of Jesus
Oh; what joy to me!
In the arms of Jesus
I would happy be!
