Young People's Songs of Praise ‎#68

68. The Shadow of the Highest

1 In the shadow of the Highest
My defence shall ever be,
For His eye, that never sleepeth,
Still is watching over me.

Refrain:
I am dwelling in the shadow
Of the mighty King of kings;
With His feathers I am cover’d
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. [Refrain]

3 In the shadow of the Highest,
There no evil can befall,
He’s my Hope, my Shield, and Buckler,
My Deliv’rer, and all my All. [Refrain]
