Unto the Hills

Verse 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 hath made.

Verse 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 Israel in His holy care.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
