- I lift mine eyes to Zion hill,
- from whence I do attend,
- that succor God me send:
-
- 2 The mighty God me succor will,
- which heaven and earth framed,
- and all things therein named.
-
- 3 Thy foot from slip he will preserve,
- And will thee safely keep:
- For he will never sleep.
- Lo, he that doth Israel conserve,
- No sleep at all can him catch,
- But his eyes do ever watch.
-
- 5 The Lord is thy warrant alway,
- The Lord eke doth thee cover,
- As at thy right hand ever.
-
- 6 The Sun shall not thee parch by day,
- Nor the Moon not half so bright,
- Shall with cold thee hurt by night.
-
- 7 The Lord will keep thee from distress,
- And will thy life sure save,
- And thou also shalt have,
-
- 8 In all thy business good success,
- Wherever thou goest in or out,
- God will thy things bring about.
