The Everlasting Arms

This beautiful hymn is one of my favorites, and I thought I'd share 

part of it here. (To read the full lyrics, and hear the melody being played

 of this hymn, visit this website.)

Art thou sunk in depths of sorrow Where no arm can reach so low? There is One whose arms almighty Reach beyond thy deepest woe. God th’ Eternal is thy refuge, Let it still thy wild alarms; Underneath thy deepest sorrow,   Are the everlasting arms. Refrain:

Underneath thee, underneath thee, Are the everlasting arms, Everlasting, everlasting,   Are the everlasting arms. Underneath us, O how easy; We have not to mount on high, But to sink into His fulness, And in trustful weakness lie. And we find our humbling failures Save us from the strength that harms! We may fail, but underneath us   Are the everlasting arms. (Refrain) Author: Albert B. Simpson The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:  Deuteronomy 33:17a
