(Top right) He shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom. Isa. XL. 11.
(Top left) Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love o'ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark! 'tis the voice of angels,
Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea.
