Set to the 18th-century Scottish air ‘MacPhearson’s Lament’, this psalm reflects on the comfort of God’s everlasting protection.

 

I Lift My Eyes up to the Hills (Psalm 121)

Tune: MacPhearson’s Lament

Words: Kiran Young Wimberly © 2013

 

I lift my eyes up to the hills, where does my help come from?
I lift my eyes up to the hills, where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord of all, the Lord of heaven and earth
The one who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep

The Lord who watches over Israel is your shade at your right hand
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon harm you by night
The Lord will keep you from all harm and will watch over your life
Watch over you as you come and go now and forevermore
