Under His Wings

Words by William Orcutt Cushing, 18963 verses

Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: 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, after each verseUnder 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 blest.

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.
