15391. 'Neath The Shadow Of His Wings

1 When the storms of sorrow gather,
And my heart is sore afraid,
Unto God, who is my Father,
Will my spirit turn for aid;
He will shield me from the tempest,
And no harmful, hurtful thing
Shall disturb me while I hide me
’Neath the shadow of His wing.

Refrain:
He will hide me, safely hide me
’Neath the shadow of His wing.

2 When my enemies afflict me,
And the hosts of sin arise,
When my falt’ring feet are halting
In their pathway to the skies,
I will flee unto my refuge,
For new hope and strength will spring
In my heart if I but hide me
’Neath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain]

3 Oh, what bliss when worn and weary,
And no earthly help is nigh,
When my life is sad and dreary,
And the shades of death draw nigh,
Just to rest, and trust His mercy,
Who will joy and Heaven bring
To my soul if I but hide me
’Neath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain]
