Are you now in depths

• • Are you now in depths of sorrow, 
  • where no arm can reach so low? 
  • There is One whose arms almighty 
  • reach beyond your deepest woe. 
  • God the Eternal is your refuge. 
  • Let it still your wild alarms; 
  • underneath your deepest sorrow 
  • are the everlasting arms. 
  • 
    
  • Other arms grow faint and weary, 
  • these can never faint nor fail: 
  • others reach our mounts of blessing, 
  • these our lowest, loneliest vale. 
  • Oh, that all might know His friendship! 
  • Oh, that all might see His charms! 
  • Oh, that all might have beneath them 
  • Jesus‟ everlasting arms! 
  • 
    
  • Underneath us, oh, 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 fail, but underneath us 
  • are the everlasting arms. 
  • 
    
  • Arms of Jesus! fold me closer 
  • to Thy strong and loving breast, 
  • till my spirit on Thy bosom 
  • finds its everlasting rest; 
  • and when time‟s last sands are sinking, 
  • shield my heart from all alarms
