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
