12560. Under The Care Of My God

1 Under the care of my God, the Almighty,
Safe in the secret place of the Most High!
He is my refuge, the Lord is my fortress,
Him I am trusting when trouble is nigh.

Refrain:
Under His wings, under His wings,
Safe in the refuge hide thee,
Trusting His truth and faithfulness,
No evil can betide thee.

2 Be not afraid for the terror of midnight,
Nor for the arrow that hasteth to slay;
Fear not the pestilence walking in darkness,
Nor the destroyer that wasteth by day. [Refrain]

3 Seek the Most High for thy sure habitation,
Unto Jehovah for refuge now fly;
There shall no evil befall thee nor harm thee,
Unto thy dwelling no plague shall come nigh. [Refrain]

4 Love thou the Lord, surely He will deliver;
He will exalt thee and answer thy prayer;
He will be with thee to honor and give thee
Life without end, His salvation to share. [Refrain]
