Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum

(\'Awake, awake, fling off the night\')

Psalm 121

*********

I will lift up my eyes unto

The hills, and look, Lord, unto you

From whence comes my help, from on high

And sensing too your presence night

 

My help comes from the Lord who made

Heaven and earth, they firm and staid

He will not let your footsteps slip

You shall not stumble, fall, or trip

 

He that keeps you will not slumber

The Lord your keeper, protector

The Lord you shade, your defence strong

Shall come to your aid all life long

 

Things of the sun\'s day times they shall

Not harm you, nor moon\'s night times veil

The Lord shall preserve, keep from all

Evil, He shall preserve your soul

 

The Lord shall preserve your going

Out, and your coming in, so sing

We of this, shall be now and e\'en

For evermore His keeping seen
