Under the Shadow of Thy Wing (Remak)

Under the sha­dow of Thy wing

Dear Sav­ior

let me hide;

From sin’s fierce storm and sor­row’s sting

There safe­ly I’ll abide;

Let not earth’s fleet­ing dreams of joy

Or plea­sure’s si­ren song

My soul from vi­rtue’s path de­coy

To self­ish­ness and wrong.

He that dwell­eth in the sec­ret place

In the sec­ret place of the Most High

Shall abide un­der the sha­dow

Shall abide un­der the sha­dow

Of the Al­migh­ty.

Under the sha­dow of Thy wing

My spir­it shall re­joice;

From thence my help and strength I bring

And there I hear Thy voice;

Oh! may I hear Thy voice di­vine

Whisper

Come un­to Me

Thou wea­ry

heavy la­den one

My peace I’ll give to thee.

Oh! give Thine an­gels charge o’er me

In all Thy ways to keep;

My heart—that oft­en strays from Thee

Thro’ dan­gers dark and deep—

Wanders

alas! ’til wea­ri­ly

I weep­ing turn aside

Unto Thine arms of mer­cy flee

And in Thy sha­dow hide.

Under the sha­dow of Thy wing

I shall not be afraid

Of plague—or ev­il—there I’ll sing—

The Lord my strength is made;

He is my rock and hid­ing place

My God! My king! My friend!

In Him

I’ll trust—He’ll give me grace

And keep me to the end.
