140. Beneath His Wing

1 I come, I rest beneath
The shadow of thy wing;
That I may know
How good it is
There to abide,
How safe its sheltering!
How safe, how safe its sheltering!

2 I lean upon the cross,
When fainting by the way;
It bears my weight,
It holds me up,
It cheers my soul,
It turns my night to day;
It turns, it turns my night to day.

3 I hear the gracious words
He speaketh to my soul;
They whisper rest,
They banish fear,
They say, “be strong!”
They make my spirit whole;
They make, they make my spirit whole.
