From a tune by Ravesscroft, 1620 |
1 I lift my eyes up to the hills;
From whence should come my help?
My help's from the Eternal God
Who made the heav'ns and earth
2 He will not let thy foot be moved;
thy Keeper slumbers not.
Lo, He that keepeth Israel;
He slumbers not, nor sleeps.
3 Th'Eternal God is He who is
thy watchful Keeper still;
Th'Eternal God becomes thy shade;
at thy right hand He stands.
4 The sun shall not smite thee by Day;
nor shall the moon by night
Th'Eternal keeps thee from all ill;
He shall preserve thy Soul
5 Th'Eternal keeps thy going out;
and keeps thy coming in;
He does it from this time and will
do it forevermore.
