Protector
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I lift up eyes unto the hills,
From where that my help does come of;
The great physician cure my ills,
Compassion that is filled with love.
My help is coming from the Lord,
To whom has made Heaven and earth;
Because He has loved and adored,
Since the day we were given birth.
He will not let your foot be moved,
He who keeps you will not slumber;
Giving you wisdom that has soothed,
At times when strife does encumber.
He keeps Israel and not sleep,
Because the Lord is your keeper;
For you are as one of His sheep,
Protecting you as the sleeper.
For the Lord is being your shade,
The sun shall not strike you by day;
Nor by night the moon be afraid,
Diverts you from going astray.
The Lord will keep you from evil,
Keeps your life to preserve your soul;
The means to avoid the devil,
Who attempts in gaining control.
The Lord will keep your going out,
From this time forth your coming in;
He is able to stop your doubt,
Building spiritual discipline.
