UNTO THE HILLS AROUND
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 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 lsrael
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 we adore
Shall keep thee
henceforth, yea, forevermore.
