Chorus

I lift my eyes to the hills

The Lord my soul He stills

My help comes from the Lord sure

Today and evermore

 

The Lord He shall you preserve

In gratitude Him serve

He shall your soul preserve, keep

You are loved as His sheep - Chorus

 

Pray for peace of God\'s city

Jerusalem it be

They shall prosper that love you

Abides forever true - Chorus

 

With the Lord\'s help our soul is

Escaped as a bird, this

We know, the snare is broken

No more entrapment then - Chorus

 

They that trust in the Lord sure

Shall not move evermore

For they be as the mount fair

Zion, abides for e\'er - Chorus

 

They that do sow in tears shall

Reap in joy, and do well

Their weeping turned to joy be

Fruitful sheaves gathered, see - Chorus

 

Children be an heritage

From the Lord, privilege

Fruit of womb is His reward

From Him the gracious Lord - Chorus

 

Let Israel hope in the Lord

And by Him be assured

That with Him there is mercy

Plenty redemption be - Chorus

 

My soul is as a weaned child

Not proud, but meek and mild

In the Lord I quiet myself

\'Tis to my soul\'s good health - Chorus

 

The Lord has chosen Zion

This His habitation

Here be His rest for ever

He dwells here, departs ne\'er - Chorus
