Representative text

Verse 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.
Refrain
Under His wings, under His wings, Who from His love can sever? Under His wings, my soul shall abide, Safely abide forever.
Verse 2
Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to its rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, There I find comfort, and there I am blest.
Verse 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.
