Under His Wings

Text by William O. Cushing, 1896
Tune (HINGHAM) by Ira Sankey

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.

Chorus:
Under 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. (Chorus)

Under His wings, O what precious enjoyment!
There will I bide till life's trials are o'er;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me.
Resting in Jesus, I'm safe evermore. (Chorus)
