My defence shall ever be,
For His eye, that never sleepeth,
Still is watching over me.
I am dwell - - - ing in the shadow . . .
Of the migh - - - ty King of kings ; . . .
With His feath - - - ers I am covered, . . .
And I rest . . . beneath His wings. . . .
2 In the shadow of the Highest
I am safe from dread alarms,
For beneath me and around me
Are His everlasting arms.
3 In the shadow of the Highest,
There no evil can befal----
He's my Hope, my Shield, and Buckler,
My Deliverer and my All.
