I will lift up my eyes to the mountains
From where shall my help come
My help comes from the Lord who made heaven
Who made heaven and earth
My helper, my keeper
You are the shade at my right hand
In going and coming
The Lord will be my guardian
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains
From where shall my help come
My help comes from the Lord who made heaven
Who made heaven and earth
My helper, my keeper
You are the shade at my right hand
In going and coming
The Lord will be my guardian
My helper, my keeper
You are the shade at my right hand
In going and coming
The Lord will be my guardian
He will not allow my foot to slip
He who watches never slumbers
He will not allow my foot to slip
He who watches never slumbers
He will not allow my foot to slip
Oh, He who watches never slumbers
He will not allow my foot to slip
For He who watches never slumbers
He is my protection from all harm
He will keep my soul forever
He is my protection from all harm
He will keep my soul forever
My helper, my keeper
You are the shade at my right hand
In going and coming
The Lord will be my guardian
My helper, my keeper
You are the shade at my right hand
In going and coming
The Lord will be my guardian
