Dear Savior, I am weary,
And now I fain would be
In the shadow of Thy wings,
To sweetly rest with Thee.
Refrain
In the shadow of Thy wings,
Let me closer draw to Thee;
Let me know the peace it brings,
In the shadow of Thy wings.
And when life’s storms are raging,
O, safely shelter me!
Under Thy dear loving wings,
There let my refuge be.
Refrain
Then when life’s storms are over,
Then let my spirit be
Borne to Heaven on Thy wings,
To ever rest with Thee.
