Under the Shadow of Thy Wing (Snodgrass)

lyricist: Margarette Snodgrass, 1878
Composer: Frederic Pease

I will re­joice with glad­ness deep

While in Thy care I wake or sleep;

Close to Thy side will ev­er cling

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing.

Morning and ev­en­ing I will sing

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing

Morning and ev­en­ing I will sing

Under the sha­dow

un­der the sha­dow

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing.

I will re­joice that Thou art near

Thou wilt the faint­est whis­per hear;

Darkness may come

but I will sing

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing.

I will re­joice

my heart doth leap;

To Thee in dan­ger I will creep;

Counting it joy all pain to bring

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing

Safe in its shel­ter I would hide

There let me ev­er­more ab­ide;

I can re­joice in ev­ery­thing

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing

Under the sha­dow

the sha­dow of Thy wing.
