The Shadow of His Wing

Representative Text

1 Secure from storms and sinful blasts,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing;
In safety while temptation lasts,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing;
My Lord will lead me by the hand,
He by my side will ever stand,
And bring me safe to Canaan’s land,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing.

Refrain:
I am resting, resting,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing,
I am resting, resting,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing.

2 Mine eyes are clear, my heart can see,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing,
From chains of sin I am set free,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing;
He is my ever gracious Lord,
His trust my armor and my sword,
I meekly would obey His word,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain]

3 I’m growing daily in His grace,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing,
For I have found a blessed place,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing;
And all my sins on Christ I roll,
He saves my weak and sinful soul,
For He doth cleanse and make me whole,
Resting ‘neath the shadow of His wing. [Refrain]
