70 There is a safe and secret place
1 There is a safe and secret place
Beneath the wings divine,
Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O be that refuge mine!
2 The least and feeblest there may bide
Uninjured and unawed;
While thousands fall on every side,
He rests secure in God.
3 He feeds in pastures large and fair
Of love and truth divine;
O child of God, O glory's heir,
How rich a lot is thine!
4 A hand almighty to defend,
An ear for every call,
An honored place, a peaceful end,
And heaven to crown it all!
