He Shall Cover Thee

He shall cov­er thee here with His fea­thers

And un­der His wings shalt thou trust;

He’ll give thee long life and true plea­sure

He keep­eth the path of the just.

He shall cov­er thee

He shall cov­er thee

And un­der His wings shalt thou trust;

He shall cov­er thee

He shall cov­er thee

And un­der His wings shalt thou trust.

Not a fear should creep ov­er our be­ing

For He guard­eth well the heart-door

Works all for our good in fore­see­ing

And thus we have naught to de­plore.

Not a dart from the foe can e’er pierce us

While hid in our Sav­ior so dear;

Then let us be bold and cour­age­ous

For in Him there’s no­thing to fear.

Not a saf­er re­treat can be of­fered

God’s word is His pow­er to me

And in it thro’ Christ He has prof­fered

The grace all must have to be free.
