1 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin, No more childish griefs or fears, No more sadness, no more tears; For the life so young and fair Now hath passed from earthly care; God Himself the soul will keep, Giving His beloved sleep. 2 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin; Passed beyond all grief and pain, Death for thee is truest gain; For our loss we may not weep, Now our loved ones long to keep From the home of rest and peace, Where all sin and sorrow cease. 3 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin; God has saved from weary strife, In its dawn, this fresh young life; Now it waits for us above, Resting in the Saviour's love; Jesus, grant that we may meet There, adoring, at Thy feet.
