• Lyrics:
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is rest, sweet rest;
  There is rest from care and labor,
  There is rest for friend and neighbor;
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is rest, sweet rest,
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is rest, sweet rest.
  
  chorus:
  There is rest, there is peace,
  There is joy, in the shadow of His wings:
  There is rest, there is peace,
  There is joy, in the shadow of His wings.
  
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is peace, sweet peace,
  Peace that passeth understanding,
  Peace, sweet peace that knows no ending;
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is peace, sweet peace,
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is peace, sweet peace.
  
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is joy, glad joy,
  There is joy to tell the story,
  Joy exceeding, full of glory;
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is joy, glad joy,
  In the shadow of His wings
  There is joy, glad joy.
