Under His Wings

1 Under His wings I am safely abiding.  
Tho' 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 blessed. [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]
