Text:I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help
Tune:CHANT No. 1
Composer:Dr. L. Mason

143b. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help,

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold he that keepth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon be night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in, from this time forth, an even forever more.
