Beneath Thy wing, 0 God, I rest,
Under Thy shadow safely lie,
By Thine own strength in peace possest,
While dreaded evils pass me by.

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

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

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