Under Thy wings, my God, I rest

HYMN 13

Under Thy wings, my God, I rest Under Thy shadow safely lie; By Thy own strength in peace possessed, While dreaded evils pass me by.

With strong desire I here can stay To see Thy love its work complete; Here I can wait a long delay, Reposing at my Savior's feet.

My place of lowly service, too, Beneath Thy sheltering wings I see; For all the work I have to do Is done through strengthening rest in Thee.

I would not rise this rest above; I do not mourn my low estate Sure of my riches in Thy love, I feel it good to trust and wait.

In faith and patience is repose; In faith and rest my strength shall be; And when thy joy the church o'erflows, I know that it will visit me.
