safe and sound
Home without harm
Safe and sound means unharmed and in good condition, especially after a dangerous experience or period of uncertainty.
The phrase is a fixed expression where both words reinforce each other: The hikers made it back safe and sound before the storm hit.
It often expresses relief: Thank goodness the children are safe and sound.
