Under His wings I am safely abiding

lyricist: William Orcutt Cushing
Composer: Ira David Sankey

Under His wings I am safely abiding;

Though the night deepens and tempests are wild

Still I can trust Him

I know He will keep me;

He has redeemed me

and I am His child.

Under His wings

under His wings

Who from His love can sever?

Under His wings my soul shall abide

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 blest.

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.
