Verse 1

Up to the hills I lift mine eyes, Th'eternal hills beyond the skies; Thence all her help my soul derives, There my almighty Refuge lives.

Verse 2

He lives--the everlasting God That built the world, that spread the flood. The heavens with all their hosts He made, And the dark regions of the dead.

Verse 3

He guides our feet, He guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day: Our holy Guardian's wakeful eyes Admit no slumber, nor surprise.

Verse 4

Should earth and hell with malice burn, Still thou shalt go, and still return, Safe in the Lord; His heavenly care Defends Thy life from every snare.

Verse 5

Amen.
