I Will Lift Mine Eyes
Jake Runestad (b. 1986)
I will lift mine eyes unto the hills,
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord.
He is the maker of heav’n and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved.
He who keeps you will not slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper,
The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not harm you by day the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in
From this day forth for evermore.
— Psalm 121
“I Will Lift Mine Eyes” was performed by the Houston Chamber Choir at their 2017-2018 season’s “This American Voice.”
