My Help (Cometh From The Lord) Lyrics
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir
Lyrics
I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
from whence cometh my help,
my help cometh from the Lord,
the Lord which made Heaven and Earth.
He said He would not suffer thy foot,
thy foot to be moved;
the Lord which keepeth thee,
He will not slumber nor sleep.
Oh the Lord is thy keeper,
the Lord is thy shade
upon thy right hand,
upon thy right hand.
No, the sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night,
He shall preserve thy soul
even forever more.
My help, my help, my help,
all of my help cometh from the Lord.
Lift up mine eyes...
lift up mine eyes...
unto the hills...
He is my strength...
All of my help cometh from the Lord.
