I to the Hills Will Lift Mine Eyes

Words: The Psalms of David in Meeter, 1650 · Music: The CL Psalmes of David in Meeter, 1615, Thomas Ravenscroft · 1650

Verse 1
I to the hills will lift mine eyes,
from whence doth come my aid.
My safety cometh from the Lord
who heav'n and earth hath made.

Verse 2
Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will
he slumber that thee keeps.
Behold, he that keeps Israel,
he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

Verse 3
The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade
on thy right hand doth stay;
the moon by night thee shall not smite,
nor yet the sun by day.

Verse 4
The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
preserve thee from all ill.
Henceforth thy going out and in
God keep forever will.
