7999. Come, Abide Beneath His Wing

1 Are you weak and heavy ladened?
Is your soul with grief oppressed?
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing.
There the cares of life are lighter,
And the weary find sweet rest;
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing.

Refrain:
Come abide, come abide,
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing;
Are you weak and heavy ladened?
Is your soul with grief oppressed?
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing.

2 In the secret of His presence
There is shelter from all harm;
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing.
He’s a refuge and a fortress
’Gainst the fury of the storm;
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain]

3 He’s a present help in trouble,
He will hear you when you call;
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing.
Give His angels charge to keep you,
That no evil shall befall;
Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain]
