My longing eyes:
O whence for me shall my salvation come,
From whence arise?
rom God the Lord doth come my certain aid,
From God the Lord, who heaven and earth hath made.
2 He will not suffer that thy foot be moved:
Safe shalt thou be.
No careless slumber shall his eyelids close,
Who keepeth thee.
Behold our God, the Lord, he slumb'reth ne'er,
Who keepeth Israel in his holy care.
3 Jehovah is himself thy Keeper true,
Thy changeless Shade;
Jehovah thy Defense on thy right hand
Himself hath made.
And thee no sun by day shall ever smite;
No moon shall harm thee in the silent night.
4 From ev'ry evil shall he keep thy soul,
From ev'ry sin:
Jehovah shall preserve thy going out,
Thy coming in.
Above thee watching, he whom we adore
Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English Tune Title: LUX BEATA
