Lyrics

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence my help doth come. My help cometh from the Lord my God, which hath made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved. He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel will slumber not nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper and the shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth forever more.
