Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safe in the shadow of the Lord, beneath his hand and power, I trust in him, I trust in him, my fortress and my tower. 2 My hope is set on God alone though Satan spreads his snare; I trust in him, I trust in him, to keep me in his care. 3 From fears and phantoms of the night, from foes about my way, I trust in him, I trust in him, by darkness as by day. 4 His holy angels keep my feet secure from every stone; I trust in him, I trust in him, and unafraid go on. 5 Strong in the everlasting name, and in my Father's care, I trust in him, I trust in him who hears and answers prayer. 6 Safe in the shadow of the Lord, possessed by love divine, I trust in him, I trust in him and meet his love with mine.
