12658. Under The Shadow Of Thy Wing

1 "Under the shadow of Thy wing,"
Dear Savior, let me hide;
From sin’s fierce storm and sorrow’s sting
There safely I’ll abide;
Let not earth’s fleeting dreams of joy
Or pleasure’s siren song,
My soul from virtue’s path decoy,
To selfishness and wrong.

Refrain:
He that dwelleth in the secret place,
In the secret place of the Most High,
Shall abide under the shadow,
Shall abide under the shadow
Of the Almighty.

3 "Under the shadow of Thy wing,"
My spirit shall rejoice;
From thence my help and strength I bring,
And there I hear Thy voice;
Oh! may I hear Thy voice divine
Whisper, "Come unto Me,
Thou weary, heavy laden one,
My peace I’ll give to thee." [Refrain]

4 Oh! give Thine angels charge o’er me,
"In all Thy ways to keep";
My heart—that often strays from Thee
Thro’ dangers dark and deep—
Wanders, alas! ’til wearily
I weeping turn aside,
Unto Thine arms of mercy flee
And in Thy shadow hide. [Refrain]

5 Under the shadow of Thy wing
I shall not be afraid,
Of plague—or evil—there I’ll sing—
"The Lord my strength is made";
He is my rock and hiding place,
My God! My king! My friend!
In Him, I’ll trust—He’ll give me grace,
And keep me to the end. [Refrain]
