His Loving Arms Around Me

Author: Ella M. Parks Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11666 First Line: I was far away from Jesus Refrain First Line: He put His loving arms around me Lyrics: 1 I was far away from Jesus, Dead in trespasses and sin, And I thought for one so vile no hope could be; But the blessèd Lord of Glory Stooped and raised me to Himself, And He put His loving arms around me. Refrain: He put His loving arms around me; He put His loving arms around me; I looked into His face, It beamed with tender grace, As He put his loving arms around me. 2 Then He whispered to me pardon Through the all atoning blood Which He shed for my transgressions on the tree; And the blessèd peace of Heaven Came into my weary soul, As He put His loving arms around me. [Refrain] 3 Day by day He guides and keeps me In the blessèd narrow way, From the ban of sin and death He makes me free; There’s no evil can befall me While I’m resting in His grace, And He has His loving arms around me. [Refrain] 4 In the hour of deepest trial When all earthly comfort fails, And no cheering ray of sunshine I can see, Then to Him I bring my sorrow, And He wipes away my tears, As He puts His loving arms around me. [Refrain] 5 Oh this blessèd life in Jesus! Sinner, won’t you hear His call? From the power of sin’s dominion He can free; Yield thy heart to Him this moment, And with joy thou’lt surely find That He’ll put His loving arms around thee! Refrain: He’ll put His loving arms around thee! He’ll put His loving arms around thee, Look up into His face, It beams with tender grace, And He’ll put His loving arms around thee.
