Come, Abide Beneath His Wing

Author: Sarah G. Little Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Are you weak and heavy ladened? Lyrics: 1 Are you weak and heavy ladened? Is your soul with grief oppressed? Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. There the cares of life are lighter, And the weary find sweet rest; Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. Refrain: Come abide, come abide, Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing; Are you weak and heavy ladened? Is your soul with grief oppressed? Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. 2 In the secret of His presence There is shelter from all harm; Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. He’s a refuge and a fortress ’Gainst the fury of the storm; Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain] 3 He’s a present help in trouble, He will hear you when you call; Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. Give His angels charge to keep you, That no evil shall befall; Come, abide beneath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Are you weak and heavy ladened] Text Sources: Onward and Upward by Ephraim T. Hildebrand and James D. Vaughan (Longwood, Ind: Home Music Company, 1898)
