Text: | Mine eyes unto the mountains |
Author: | Ernst W. Olson, 1870 - 1958 |
Tune: | OLD 130TH |
1 Mine eyes unto the mountains
I lift, whence help goes forth;
My help comes from Jehovah,
Maker of heaven and earth.
Thy foot shall never falter;
Thy every step he keeps;
The Lord who keepeth Israel,
He slumbers not, nor sleeps.
2 The shade of the Almighty
Shields thee upon the right;
The sunlight shall not smite thee,
Nor yet the moon by night.
Thy coming in he blesseth,
And from the temple door
Thy going out he guideth
Now and for evermore.
