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.
