1. Unto the hills I lift my eyes;
O whence shall come my aid?
My help is from the Lord alone,
Who Heaven and earth has made.
2. He will not let thy foot be moved,
Thy Guardian never sleeps
With watchful and unslumbering care
His own He safely keeps.
3. Thy faithful Keeper is the Lord,
Thy Shelter and thy Shade;
'Neath sun or moon, by day or night,
Thou shalt not be afraid.
4. From evil He will keep thee safe,
For thee He will provide;
Thy going out, thy coming in,
Forever He will guide.
The Psalter 1912
The Methodist Hymnal 1964 edition

Psalm 121 is one of my favorite psalms and there are a million variations on songs from it. I first learned it with the KJV put to music. I don't recall ever singing this version and Hymnary.org doesn't list it among their numerous variations.
