Psalm 121 Levavi oculos
What? and doe I behold the lovely mountaines,
Whence comes all my reliefe, my aid, my comfort?
O there, O there abides the worlds Creator,
Whence comes all my reliefe, my aid, my comfort.
Whence comes all my reliefe, my aid, my comfort?
O there, O there abides the worlds Creator,
Whence comes all my reliefe, my aid, my comfort.
March, march lustily on, redoubt no falling:
God shall guide thy goings: the Lord thy keeper
Sleepes not, sleepes not a whit, no sleepe no slumber
Once shall enter in Israells true keeper.
God shall guide thy goings: the Lord thy keeper
Sleepes not, sleepes not a whit, no sleepe no slumber
Once shall enter in Israells true keeper.
But whome named I Israells true keeper?
Whome? but only Jehova: whose true keeping
Thy saving shadow is: not ever absent
When present perill his reliefe requireth.
Whome? but only Jehova: whose true keeping
Thy saving shadow is: not ever absent
When present perill his reliefe requireth.
March then boldly, by day no sunne shall hurt thee
With beames too violently right reflected.
Feare no jorny by night: the Moony vapors
Shall not cast any mist to breed thy grevaunce.
With beames too violently right reflected.
Feare no jorny by night: the Moony vapors
Shall not cast any mist to breed thy grevaunce.
Nay from ev'ry mishapp, from ev'ry mischief
Safe thou shalt by Jehovas hand be garded:
Safe in all thy goings, in all thy commings,
Now thou shalt by his hand, yea still be guarded.
Safe thou shalt by Jehovas hand be garded:
Safe in all thy goings, in all thy commings,
Now thou shalt by his hand, yea still be guarded.
