Under His Wings

C                           G7
Under His wings I am safely abiding,
                                          C
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
                         F            C 
Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me,
F        C              G7       C
He has redeemed me, and I am His child.

Chorus:
C                  G7      C
Under His wings, under His wings,
             F  C       G7
Who from His love can sever?
C                  F           C
Under His wings my soul shall abide,
F       C       G7 C
Safely abide forever.

Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!
How the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for my healing,
There I find comfort, and there I am blessed.

Chorus

Under His wings, oh, what precious enjoyment!
There will I hide till life’s trials are o’er;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me,
Resting in Jesus, I’m safe evermore.
