186. Beneath His Wing

1 Beneath His wing I sweetly rest,
While balmy peace reigns in my breast;
I never need a foe to dread,
While His bright wing is o’er me spread.

Refrain:
Beneath His wing, beneath His wing.

2 Amidst all dangers, seen or known,
His guardian wing is o’er me thrown;
It soothes me with its magic power,
And turns to light the darkest hour. [Refrain]

3 This heav’nly wing, so widely spread,
Is over me where’er I tread;
It banishes all gloom and fear
To feel assured His wing is near. [Refrain]

4 When wasting on the bed of death,
I still can sing with dying breath,
For round me I can clearly see
Christ’s wing of love o’er-arching me. [Refrain]
