1. As mountains 'round His people rise,
Is God's protecting care;
Is God's protecting care;
My faith uplifts to them her eyes,
My faith uplifts to them her eyes,

Descant (3rd verse):
Descant (3rd verse):
As sure as mountains firm that 'round His peo-ple rise,
As sure as mountains firm that 'round His people rise,
Is God's unfailing love, is God's protecting care;
Is God's unfailing love, is God's protecting care;
My faith looks up to them with clear expectant eyes,
My faith looks up to them with clear expectant eyes,
Line 42: Line 60:
His presence and His glory, like a mountain wall,
His presence and His glory, like a mountain wall,
On ev'ry side encompass me.
On ev'ry side encompass me.
His presence and His glory, like a moun-tain wall,
His presence and His glory, like a mountain wall,
On ev'ry side encompass me.
On ev'ry side encompass me.

1. As mountains 'round His people rise,
Is God's protecting care;
My faith uplifts to them her eyes,
To see His presence there.
I shall not faint, I shall not fall,
If Thou, O Lord, upholdest me;
Thy presence like a mountain wall,
My strength and sure defence shall be.

2. Though hostile tents my way surround,
I with the Lord abide;
And on life's consecrated ground
In His pavilion hide.
I shall not faint, I shall not fall,
If Thou, O Lord, upholdest me;
Thy presence like a mountain wall,
My strength and sure defence shall be.

3. As mountains 'round His people rise,
Is God's protecting care;
My faith uplifts to them her eyes,
To see His presence there.
I shall not faint, I shall not fall,
If Thou, O Lord, upholdest me;
Thy presence like a mountain wall,
My strength and sure defence shall be,
Thy presence like a mountain wall,
My strength and sure defence shall be.

Descant (3rd verse):
As sure as mountains firm that 'round His people rise,
Is God's unfailing love, is God's protecting care;
My faith looks up to them with clear expectant eyes,
To see the rays of heav'n in glory resting there.
I shall not tire nor faint, I shall not fear nor fall,
Whatever here on earth my lot in life may be;
His presence and His glory, like a mountain wall,
On ev'ry side encompass me.
His presence and His glory, like a mountain wall,
On ev'ry side encompass me.
