I was sifting through some VHS tapes earlier today and came across some news coverage I had recorded on and just after September 11, 2001. On one of these tapes were the funerals of Barbara Olsen and the FDNY chaplain that were being broadcast live at the time. In both funerals, the song "On Eagles Wings" was performed. There was some lady with an opera quality voice singing it with a choir in the background. The beauty of the song along with the sadness of the situation were enough to move you to tears.

Unfortunately the news anchors started flapping their jaws about halfway through the song and I could never understand all the words. This is a very beautiful song and I would like to have a copy of the words. Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks,

On Eagles Wings

You who dwell...(On eagles wings)
who abide in His shadow for life,
say to the Lord: 'My refuge,
my God in whom I trust!'


And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.


And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you,
near you it shall not come.


And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

For to His angels He's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways'
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.


And He will raise you up on eagles' wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand

This is the result of a google search.  Does it sound like this is the song?

Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
