Under His wings I am safely abiding

What a comfort it is to know that in Jesus we are safe forever more. This hymn just gives strength and encouragement in times of troubles.

My older two daughters sang this hymn at my 18 year old son’s funeral a few days ago. His unexpected death was one of the biggest trials I have had. When they sang this song 150 people broke down sobbing. God used it to bring such healing, especially in all the young people who were there. He is our refuge, a ever present help in time of need!

I would for this song to sing by some one. Under this wings I am.

Great expression of His promises and great comfort.

Amen. A comfort.

A friend of mine played this hymn in church during divine, I felt the hand Jesus touch me. Oh He touched and all the joy that flood my soul. I sure knew I was under His wings.

As I study the book of Ruth, this hymn comes to me. The Lord is our wonderful redeemer. We are safely abiding under His wings to walk our life journey.

This hymn brings back beautiful memories when I was a child, my adolescence.

When I listen to this hymn I feel like a little girl sitting on the lap of my Heavenly Father and feel the assurance that my hero will always take care of me. I LOVE YOU ALMIGHTY FATHER AND THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME!

It was a blessing just to have this old hymn pop into my head as I prepared to have my devotions, sitting in bed with my cup of coffee, and talking to the Lord as I pictured Him beside me, sharing a cup with me. So, I googled for the lyrics of “Under His Wings” which was very popular in 1958, when I was a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. I had bought my first stereo, and this was one of my favorite songs in an LP album. Whenever I played it, tears of much emotion would roll down my cheeks, it brought so much peace. I am looking at a note pasted in the front of my Bible right now where I have claimed Psalm 91:4-7 as my most comforting scripture in the Bible.

I have been through a number of near-death experiences in my life, some very scary including a violent mugging; a miracle in a near drowning while diving as a teenager; falling asleep at the wheel while driving home from work at midnight as a nurse; surviving breast cancer; being hit by a truck while bike riding at almost 80 years of age. During most of those calamities, this song, “Under His Wings, ” would flow through my being, in and out of consciousness, and I truly have a lasting sensation of how it feels to be under the Lord’s Wings, a heavenly knowledge of His peace, covering and protection that I hope to convince any of your readers here who have not trusted God with their hearts and lives.

It has been a blessing reading the comments related to these lyrics. Thank you for another time, hymnal.net, where you have been the answer to my Google request. From now on, I will come to your site first. You are providing a wonderful service. Many blessings to you.

Singing this to my mother who has Alzheimer’s. The song struck a chord in her heart. She responded by saying she wanted to go home. She rarely speaks anymore but today she did!!!
