Under His Wings

Verse 1

In God I have found a retreat, Where I can securely abide; No refuge, no rest so complete, And here I intend to reside.

Chorus

Oh, what comfort it brings, My soul sweetly sings, I am safe from all danger, While under His wings.

Verse 2

I dread not the terror by night, No arrow can harm me by day; His shadow has covered me quite, My fears He has driven away.

Verse 3

The pestilence walking about, When darkness has settled abroad, Can never compel me to doubt The presence and power of our Lord.

Verse 4

The wasting destruction at noon, No fearful foreboding can bring; With Jesus, my soul doth commune, His perfect salvation I sing.

Verse 5

A thousand may fall at my side, Ten thousand at my right hand; Above me His wings are spread wide, Beneath them in safety I stand.
