On mountains and in valleys

On mountains and in valleys

Published in 14 hymnals


Representative Text

1 On mountains and in valleys
Where'er we go is God;
The cottage and the palace,
Alike are his abode.
With watchful eye abiding
Upon us with delight;
Our souls, in him confiding,
He keeps both day and night.

2 Above me and beside me,
My God is ever near,
To watch, protect, and guide me,
Whatever ills appear.
Though other friends may fail me;
In sorrow's dark abode,
Though death itself assail me,
I'm ever safe with God.
