Christ My Song - 495
I come, I rest beneath - Beneath His Wing
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Beneath His Wing.
1. I come, I rest beneath
the shadow of thy wing,
that I may know
how good it is
there to abide –
how safe its sheltering. PDF - Midi
2. I lean upon the cross,
when fainting by the way;
it bears my weight,
it holds me up,
it cheers my soul,
it turns my night to day.
3. I clasp the outstretched hand
of my delivering Lord;
unto his arm
I link myself,
his arm divine;
it doth me help afford.
4. I hear the gracious words
he speaketh to my soul;
they whisper rest,
they banish fear,
they say, 'Be strong;'
they make my spirit whole.
5. I look, and live, and love;
I listen to the voice
saying to me
that God is love,
that God is light;
I listen and rejoice!
Horatius Bonar, Hymns of the Nativity, 1879, 27-28.
