VIATICUM.
Psalm cxxi.
Shall
I lift tow'rds the hills mine anxious eyes?
Cometh my succour thence?
Cometh my succour thence?
No: He who built the hills and spread the skies,—
The Lord is my defence.
The Lord is my defence.
Safe their footsteps whom He keeps.
May the Eye that never sleeps,
On thy path benignant dwell!
He who guardeth Israel,
Nor the noontide slumber knows,
Nor the midnight's deep repose.
May Jehovah's care attend thee!
May the pillared cloud defend thee
From the fiery stroke of noon,
From the blight of the chill moon!
Go, secure from all alarm:
Foes nor fiends thy life shall harm.
God will still preserve thy soul;
Guard thee to thy journey's goal;
Safely to thy home restore;
Bless and keep thee evermore.
May the Eye that never sleeps,
On thy path benignant dwell!
He who guardeth Israel,
Nor the noontide slumber knows,
Nor the midnight's deep repose.
May Jehovah's care attend thee!
May the pillared cloud defend thee
From the fiery stroke of noon,
From the blight of the chill moon!
Go, secure from all alarm:
Foes nor fiends thy life shall harm.
284
Guard thee to thy journey's goal;
Safely to thy home restore;
Bless and keep thee evermore.
