’Neath the Shadow of Thy Wing

When the sha­dows dark­ly ga­ther

‘Round my path­way here be­low

And the floods of sore af­flict­ion

Threaten me to ov­er­flow;

Then

O Fa­ther

give me shel­ter

‘Neath the sha­dow of Thy wing

Then

O Fa­ther

give me shel­ter

‘Neath the sha­dow of Thy wing.

Let me learn the bless­èd les­son

That be­hind the black­est sky

The bright sun of love is shin­ing

And the clouds must soon roll by

May I know the sure

safe shel­ter

‘Neath the sha­dow of Thy wing

May I know the sure

safe shel­ter

‘Neath the sha­dow of Thy wing.

Resting sweet­ly in Thy keep­ing

Folded safe­ly in Thy love

Where no ev­il can come near me

And no tri­als can me move;

When I creep in­to the shel­ter

‘Neath the sha­dow of Thy wing

When I creep in­to that shel­ter

‘Neath the sha­dow of Thy wing.
