I am saved in Christ my Savior,
And my sins are all forgiven;
Now by faith I’m traveling onward
To my home in yonder Heav’n.
Earthly cares may oft surround me,
Trials come on every hand,
But my Savior keeps me safely
In the hollow of His hand.
Refrain
And I know, if I am faithful,
I shall see Him in that land,
For His promise is He’ll keep me
In the hollow of His hand.
I am saved in Christ my Savior;
Tho’ the waves about me roll,
I am on the Rock of Ages,
And He saves my trusting soul;
And I know, if I am faithful,
I shall see Him in that land,
For His promise is He’ll keep me
In the hollow of His hand.
Refrain
I am saved in Christ my Savior!
Oh, what joy to me is given!
For I’m thinking of the mansion
He’s prepared for me in Heaven;
There are many, many mansions
For them in that happy land,
Who will have the Savior keep them
In the hollow of His Hand.
Refrain
