Representative Text

1 In the shadow of His wings I am resting,
On the living word my hope is stayed;
In His all-atoning blood I am trusting,
All my burdens at His feet are laid.

Refrain:
In the shadow of His wings I am resting,
In this blessed shelter I will hide;
In the cleansing blood my soul will be trusting,
Till I reign in glory by His side.

2 In the shadow of His wings I am resting,
I have joy that ever shall abide;
Happy songs of faith I sing—ever knowing
I am saved because for me He died. [Refrain]

3 In the shadow of His wings I am resting,
I have peace the world can never give;
For the Comforter has come, softly whisp’ring,
“With the risen One thy soul shall live.” [Refrain]
