He will sustain our weakest powers With his almighty arm, And watch our most unguarded hours Against surprising harm. Isr'el, rejoice, and rest secure, Thy keeper is the Lord; His wakeful eyes employ his power For thine eternal guard. Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon, Shall have his leave to smite; He shields thy head from burning noon, From blasting damps at night. He guards thy soul, he keeps thy breath, Where thickest dangers come: Go, and return, secure from death, Till God commands thee home. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English

For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 3 O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thy almighty aid, Let me Thy loving-kindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 4 O guard me well as one doth guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry. Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o'er shadow me. 5 My enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. 6 Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life's treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth's joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. 7 When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied.

Up to the hills I lift mine eyes

He lives; the everlasting God, That built the world, that spread the flood; The heav'ns with all their hosts he made, And the dark regions of the dead. He guides our feet, he guards our way; His morning smiles bless all the day; He spreads the evening veil, and keeps The silent hours while Isr'el sleeps. Isr'el, a name divinely blest, May rise secure, securely rest; Thy holy Guardian's wakeful eyes Admit no slumber nor surprise. No sun shall smite thy head by day, Nor the pale moon with sickly ray Shall blast thy couch; no baleful star Dart his malignant fire so far. Should earth and hell with malice burn, Still thou shalt go, and still return, Safe in the Lord; his heav'nly care Defends thy life from every snare. On thee foul spirits have no power; And in thy last departing hour, Angels that trace the airy road Shall bear thee homeward to thy God. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English

His faithfulness shall ever be A shield and buckler unto thee. 5 No nightly terrors shall alarm, No deadly shaft by day shall harm; Nor pestilence that walks by night, Nor plagues that waste in noonday light. 6 Because his angels he commands To bear thee safely in their hands, To guard thy ways, lest left alone, Thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Because he set his love on Me, From danger I will set him free. Because to him My Name is known, On high I'll set him as Mine own. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 91:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: UXBRIDGE
