Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #70 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) Lyrics: 1 Up to the hills I lift mine eyes,
The eternal hills beyond the skies;
Thence all her help my soul derives,
There my almighty Refuge lives.
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.
3 He guides our feet, He guards our way;
His morning smiles bless all the day:
He spreads the evening veil, and keeps
The silent hours, while Israel sleeps.
4 Israel, a name divinely blest,
May rise secue, securely rest;
Thy holy Guardian's wakeful eyes
Admit no slumber, nor surprise.
5 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 ev'ry snare. Topics: Creation; God as Cratior and Preserver, praise to; God as Creator and Preserver, praise to Languages: English
