I Know That Jesus Keeps

Amid the storm that sweeps

Like bil­lows o’er the soul;

I know that Je­sus keeps

That He has full con­trol.

He keeps

He keeps

I know He does

He holds me by His pow­er;

He keeps

He saves

I know He does

He’s with me ev­ery hour.

I will not fear the deeps

Of dark­ness nor of pain;

I know that Je­sus keeps

I shall see light again.

There’s for the eye that weeps

A rest both sure and sweet;

I know that Je­sus keeps

I’ve found a safe re­treat.

The death that on­ward creeps

Has lost its sting for me;

I know that Je­sus keeps

His face at last I’ll see.

And when I’ve climbed the steeps

Of Heav­en’s bright do­main

I’ll sing that Je­sus keeps

With all the spot­less train.
