Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#275

275. Unto the Hills Around Do I Lift Up

1 Unto the hills around do 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 heaven and earth has 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 He sleepeth not,
He slumbereth ne'er,
Who keepeth Israel in His holy care.

3 Jehovah is Himself thy Keeper true;
Thy changeless shade
Jehovah, evermore on thy right hand,
Himself has 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 we adore
Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, forevermore.
