Author: Ada Blenkhorn Hymnal: Light and Life Songs No. 2 #19 (1914) First Line: Unto the hills I lift mine eyes Refrain First Line: Unto the hills, the shining hills Lyrics: 1 Unto the hills I lift mine eyes, The shining hills of Paradise, From whence the promised help I bring, The present help of Israel’s King. Refrain: Unto the hills, the shining hills, The hills of God, beyond the skies; Unto the hills, the shining hills, I will lift up in faith mine eyes. 2 God’s glory lights that blessed place, There flow for me the streams of grace; I forward press to win the prize, While to the hills I lift my eyes. [Refrain] 3 I look, and from His throne divine “The light of life” doth on me shine; With joy it doth my spirit fill, And in His light I know His will. [Refrain] 4 Unto the hills I lift my eyes, Their glory just before me lies; That glory soon I shall attain, And enter there with Christ to reign. [Refrain] 5 He slumbers not, He will not sleep, For God Himself my soul will keep Until with joy I shall arise, To meet my Lord beyond the skies.
