- 1Under 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.Under His wings, under His wings,Who from His love can sever?Under His wings my soul shall abide,Safely abide forever.
- 2Under 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.Under His wings, under His wings,Who from His love can sever?Under His wings my soul shall abide,Safely abide forever.
- 3Under His wings, oh, 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.Under His wings, under His wings,Who from His love can sever?Under His wings my soul shall abide,Safely abide forever.
