Lyrics

He shall co­ver thee here with His fea­thers,
And un­der His wings shalt thou trust;
He’ll give thee long life and true plea­sure,
He keep­eth the path of the just.

Refrain

He shall co­ver thee, He shall co­ver thee,
And un­der His wings shalt thou trust;
He shall co­ver thee, He shall co­ver thee,
And un­der His wings shalt thou trust.

Not a fear should creep over our be­ing,
For He guard­eth well the heart-door,
Works all for our good in fore­see­ing,
And thus we have naught to de­plore.

Refrain

Not a dart from the foe can e’er pierce us
While hid in our Sav­ior so dear;
Then let us be bold and cour­age­ous,
For in Him there’s no­thing to fear.

Refrain

Not a saf­er re­treat can be of­fered,
God’s word is His pow­er to me,
And in it thro’ Christ He has prof­fered
The grace all must have to be free.
