Under His Wings

Under His Wings

Text written by W. O. Cushing

Hymn tune composed in 1899 by Ira D. Sankey (1840-1908)

Psalm 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Luke 1:68 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.

V. 1 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.

Psalm 91:14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name."

Refrain: Under His wings, under His wings,

Who from His love can sever?

Under His wings my soul shall abide,

Safely abide forever.

Psalm 91:2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

V. 2 Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!

How the heart yearningly turns to its rest!

Often when earth has no balm for my healing,

There I find comfort, and there I am blest.

Refrain

Psalm 91:10 No harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.

V. 3 Under His wings, O 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.

Refrain
