under his wings

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.

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 blessed.

refrain

under his wings, oh, 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
