Subject: Safe in my Father's Arms
A Victorian parlour ballad ENDS with the line "Safe in My Father's Arms!" - there are hymns and songs that START with those words, but this is the big climactic finale of the song, and guarantees a rousing burst of applause for the balladeer. I have searched and searched, but databases and title indexes do not help with last lines.
Any ideas anyone?
