16349. In The Shadow Of Thy Wings

1 Dear Savior, I am wea­ry,
And now I fain would be
In the sha­dow of Thy wings,
To sweet­ly rest with Thee.

Refrain:
In the sha­dow of Thy wings,
Let me clos­er draw to Thee;
Let me know the peace it brings,
In the sha­dow of Thy wings.

2 And when life’s storms are rag­ing,
O, safe­ly shel­ter me!
Under Thy dear lov­ing wings,
There let my re­fuge be. [Refrain]

3 Then when life’s storms are ov­er,
Then let my spir­it be
Borne to Hea­ven on Thy wings,
To ev­er rest with Thee. [Refrain]
