176. Under His Wings

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.
 
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.
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.
