|
| 1. I to the hills will lift mine eyes;
From whence doth come mine aid?
My safety cometh from the Lord,
Who heaven and earth hath made.
2. Thy foot he’ll not let slide; nor will
He slumber that thee keeps;
Behold, he that keeps Israel,
He slumbers not, nor sleeps.
3. The Lord thee keeps; the Lord thy shade
On thy right hand doth stay;
The moon by night thee shall not smite,
Nor yet the sun by day.
4. The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
preserve thee from all ill;
Henceforth thy going out and in
God keep for ever will.
