Lyrics

Mine eyes look toward the mountains,
Help cometh from on high;
From God who ne­ver slumbers,
Whose care is ever nigh.
My foot shall not be movèd,
My keeper is the Lord;
He ne­ver shall forsake me;
I trust me to His Word.

God keepeth me from falling,
Fulfilleth all my need;
His love doth e’er uphold me,
In faithful word and deed.
He keepeth me from evil,
My onward way doth trace,
My going and my com­ing,
He crowneth with His grace.
