Under His Shadow

Frances Ridley Havergal • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 17:8

Verse 1

Sit down beneath His shadow, And rest with great delight; The faith that now beholds Him Is pledge of future sight.

Verse 2

Our Master's love remember, Exceeding great and free; Lift up thy heart in gladness, For he remembers thee.

Verse 3

Bring every weary burden, Thy sin, thy fear, thy grief; He calls the heavy-laden, And gives them kind relief.

Verse 4

His righteousness all glorious Thy festal robe shall be, And love that passeth knowledge His banner over thee.

Verse 5

A little while, though parted, Remember, wait and love, until He comes in glory, Until we meet above.
