Under His Wings

Representative Text

1 Under His wings I am safely abiding.
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me.
He has redeemed me, and I am His child.

Refrain:
Under His wings, under His wings,
who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide,
safely abide forever.

2 Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!
How the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for my healing,
there I find comfort, and there I am blest. [Refrain]

3 Under His wings, O what precious enjoyment!
There will I hide till life’s trials are o’er;
sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me.
Resting in Jesus, I’m safe evermore. [Refrain]
