121a. He Watches Over You

I lift my eyes unto the hills,
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from Yahweh.
Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your feet slip,
His right hand never leaves you.
He who keeps you never slumbers nor sleeps.
He watches over you like a shade
from the sun by day and the moon by night.
He watches over you.
No evil can ever invade the cov'ring of Yahweh.

I lift my eyes unto the hills,
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from Yahweh.
Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your feet slip,
His right hand never leaves you.
He who keeps you never slumbers nor sleeps.
He watches over you like a shade
from the sun by day and the moon by night.
He watches over you.
No evil can ever invade the cov'ring of Yahweh.

When you go out, when you come in,
He watches over you today and forevermore.
He never leaves you, He never leaves you,
He never leaves you, He never leaves you alone.
He watches over you like a shade
from the sun by day and the moon by night.
He watches over you.
No evil can ever invade the cov'ring of Yahweh.
