Beneath His Wing
Author: Edwin H. Nevin, D. D. Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 2 #186 (1896) First Line: Beneath His wing I sweetly rest Refrain First Line: Beneath His wing, beneath His wing Lyrics: 1 Beneath His wing I sweetly rest,
While balmy peace reigns in my breast;
I never need a foe to dread,
While His bright wing is o’er me spread.
Refrain:
Beneath His wing, beneath His wing.
2 Amidst all dangers, seen or known,
His guardian wing is o’er me thrown;
It soothes me with its magic power,
And turns to light the darkest hour. [Refrain]
3 This heav’nly wing, so widely spread,
Is over me where’er I tread;
It banishes all gloom and fear
To feel assured His wing is near. [Refrain]
4 When wasting on the bed of death,
I still can sing with dying breath,
For round me I can clearly see
Christ’s wing of love o’er-arching me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Beneath His wing I sweetly rest]

J. H. Fillmore
1849 - 1936 Composer of "[Beneath His wing I sweetly rest]" in Crowning Day No. 2 James Henry Fillmore USA 1849-1936. Born at Cincinnati, OH, he helped support his family by running his father's singing school. He married Annie Eliza McKrell in 1880, and they had five children. After his father's death he and his brothers, Charles and Frederick, founded the Fillmore Brothers Music House in Cincinnati, specializing in publishing religious music. He was also an author, composer, and editor of music, composing hymn tunes, anthems, and cantatas, as well as publishing 20+ Christian songbooks and hymnals. He issued a monthly periodical “The music messsenger”, typically putting in his own hymns before publishing them in hymnbooks. Jessie Brown Pounds, also a hymnist, contributed song lyrics to the Fillmore Music House for 30 years, and many tunes were composed for her lyrics. He was instrumental in the prohibition and temperance efforts of the day. His wife died in 1913, and he took a world tour trip with single daughter, Fred (a church singer), in the early 1920s. He died in Cincinnati. His son, Henry, became a bandmaster/composer.

Edwin H. Nevin
1814 - 1889 Person Name: Edwin H. Nevin, D. D. Author of "Beneath His Wing" in Crowning Day No. 2 Nevin, Edwin Henry, D.D., son of Major David Nevin, was born at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, May 9, 1814. He graduated in Arts at Jefferson College, 1833; and in Theology at Princeton Seminary, in 1836. He held several pastorates as a Presbyterian Minister from 1836 to 1857; then as a Congregational Minister from 1857 to 1868; and then, after a rest of six years through ill health, as a Minister of the Reformed Church, first at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and then in Philadelphia. Dr. Nevin is the author of several hymns, the more important of which are:—
1. Always with me [us], always with [us] me. Jesus always present.
2. Come up hither, come away. Invitation Heavenward.
3. Happy, Saviour, would I be. Trust. This is given in the Lyra Sacra Americana as "Saviour! happy should I be." This change was made by the editor "with the consent and approbation of the author."
4. 0 heaven, sweet heaven. Heaven. Written and published in 1862 after the death of a beloved son, which made heaven nearer and dearer from the conviction that now a member of his family was one of its inhabitants" (Schaff’s Christ in Song, 1870, p. 539).
5. Live on the field of battle. Duty. Appeared in the Baptist Devotional Hymn Book, 1864.
6. I have read of a world of beauty. Heaven.
7. Mount up on high! as if on eagle's wings. Divine Aspirations.
Of these hymns, Nos. 1, 2, 3 appeared in Nason's Congregational Hymn Book, 1857; and all, except No. 5, are in the Lyra Sacra Americana, 1868. [Rev. F.M. Bird, M.A.]
