134. Under His Wing

1 The Lord is my refuge and strength,
My God, and my only retreat;
While under His wings I abide,
My safety and rest are complete.
I am under His wings,
Yes, under His wings,
And my heart fears no danger,
While under his wings.

2 I fear not the terror by night,
Nor the arrow that flieth by day;
His truth is my buckler and shield,
His presence my comfort and stay.
I am under His wings,
Yes, under His wings,
And my heart fears no danger,
While under his wings.

3 No pestilence darkness may hide,
Nor destruction that wasteth at noon;
Shall cause me to fear, for I trust
In God, the Omnipotent One.
I am under His wings,
Yes, under His wings,
And my heart fears no danger,
While under his wings.

4 A thousand may fall at my side,
Ten thousand upon my right hand;
But since I am under His wings,
Secure in His shadow I stand.
I am under His wings,
Yes, under His wings,
And my heart fears no danger,
While under his wings.
