102   Unto the Hills




[1]
Unto the hills around shall I lift up my longing eyes?
O whence for me shall my salvation come
From whence arise?
From God the Lord doth come my certain aid
From God the Lord who heav n and earth hath made.

[2]
He will not suffer that thy foot be moved; safe shalt Thou be
No careless slumber shall His eyelids close who keepeth thee.
Behold our God the Lord He slumbereth ne er
Who keepeth Israel in His holy care.

[3]
Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true thy changeless shade.
Jehovah thy defense on thy right hand Himself hath made
And thee no sun by day shall ever smite
No moon shall harm thee in the silent night.

[4]
From every evil shall He keep thy soul from every sin;
Jehovah shall preserve thy going out thy coming in.
Above thee watching He whom adore
Shall keep thee henceforth yea forevermore.
