The Shelter of God’s Love

When on the wea­ry heart there gent­ly dawns

The full­ness of His love

Then with our spir­its tuned to joy and praise

We sing

God rules above!

How He loves us

the notes come ring­ing

From all the faith­ful

His mer­cy sing­ing;

The whole earth to Him is bring­ing

Praises for His love and care.

Safe in the sha­dow of His migh­ty wings

He hides us day by day;

In that sweet shel­ter we may sweet­ly gain

Courage to tread life’s way.

And when we each shall en­ter death’s dark vale

Our earth­ly race well run

He’ll grant us faith and cour­age still to say

Dear Lord

Thy will be done.
