Devotional Poem: 

Under His Wings I Am Safely Abiding (verse 1)

Under His wings I am safely abiding;

Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,

Still I can trust Him – I know He will keep me;

He has redeemed me and I am His child.

Under His wings, under His wings,

Who from His love can sever?

Under His wings my soul shall abide,

Safely abide forever.

Hymn by William Cushing
