Traditional music of moderate difficulty with a flowing accompaniment. Melodic and gentle. A sweet solo, easy listening for the congregation. The words are a wonderful re-interpretation of Psalm 91 by Violet Hay from the Christian Science Sentinel. Music: Helen Ingle Ezell. ©2008 SLVivace.
Lyrics
Safety
Words: Violet Hay
Music: Helen Ingle Ezell
He whose thought is lifted ever
To the perfect realm of Mind,
In that secret place abiding
Shall a full protection find.
Safe beneath the Almighty shade
He shall dwell all unafraid,
Safe beneath the Almighty shade
He shall dwell all unafraid.
Thousand errors shall confront us;
They shall fail on every side.
All our ways are kept by angels,
All our steps they guard and guide.
They who slumber not nor sleep,
Day and night their watch shall keep.
They who slumber not nor sleep,
Day and night their watch shall keep.
They shall show us Love’s salvation,
Teach us how to trample fear,
Nothing evil shall befall us
Nor shall any plague come near.
We our Father’s name have known,
We will trust in God alone.
We our Father’s name have known,
We will trust in God alone.
