1 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills
in the press of a busy day;
as green hllls stand in a dusty land
so God is my strength and stay.
2 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills
to a calm that is mine to share;
secure and still in the Father's will
and kept by the Father's care.
3 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills
with a prayer as I turn to sleep;
by day, by night, through the dark and light
my Shepherd will guard his sheep.
4 I lift my eyes to the quiet hills
and my heart to the Father's throne;
in all my ways to the end of days
the Lord will preserve his own.
