Under His Wings

William Cushing • English

Primary Scripture: Ruth 2:12

Verse 1

Under His wings I am safely abiding. Tho' 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.

Verse 2

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, under His wings, Who from His love can sever? Under His wings my soul shall abide, Safely abide forever.

Verse 3

Under 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.

Chorus

Under His wings, under His wings, Who from His love can sever? Under His wings my soul shall abide, Safely abide forever.
