604--Unto the hills around do I lift up

Unto the hills around do I lift up

604

	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.
	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, He sleepeth not, He slumbereth ne'er,
		Who keepeth Israel 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
