Are you sunk in depths of sorrow
Where no arm can reach so low?
There is One whose arms almighty
Reach beyond thy deepest woe
God, eternal, is thy refuge
Let Him still thy wild alarms
Underneath thy deepest sorrow
Are the everlasting arms
Other arms grow faint and weary
These can never faint or fail
Others reach our mounts of blessings
These our lowest, darkest vale
O that all might know His friendship
O that all might see His charms
O that all might have beneath them
Jesus' everlasting arms
Underneath us, O how easy
We have not to mount on high
But to sink into His fullness
And in trustful weakness lie
And we find our humbling failures
Save us from the strength that harms
We may fall but underneath us
Are the everlasting arms
Arms of Jesus, fold me closer
To Thy strong and loving breast
'Til my spirit on Thy bosom
Finds its everlasting rest
And when life's last sands are sinking
Shield my heart from all alarms
Softly whisp'ring, "Underneath thee
Are the everlasting arms"
