Beneath Thy wing, O God, I rest,
Representative text
As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 82 — the newest hymnal carrying it.
Verse 1
Beneath Thy wing, O God, I rest, Under Thy shadow safely lie, By Thine own strength in peace possest, While dreaded evils pass me by.
Verse 2
With strong desire, I here can stay To see Thy love its work complete; Here can I wait a long delay, Reposing at my Saviour's feet.
Verse 3
My place of lowly service, too, Beneath that sheltering wing I see; For all the work I have to do, Is done through strengthening trust in Thee.
Verse 4
In faith and patience is repose, In faith and rest my strength shall be; And, when Thy joy the Church o'erflows, I know that it will visit me.
