TO heaven I lift my waiting eyes

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

6 Verses Divine Protection Eternal Security

Verse 1

TO heaven I lift my waiting eyes There all my hopes are laid: The Lord that built the earth and skies Is my perpetual aid.

Verse 2

Their feet shall never slide to fall, His ear attends the softest call; His eyes can never sleep.

Verse 3

He will sustain our weakest powers And watch our most unguarded hours Against surprising harm.

Verse 4

Israel, rejoice, and rest secure, Thy keeper is the Lord; His wakeful eyes employ His power For thine eternal guard.

Verse 5

Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon, Shall have his leave to smite; He shields thy head from burning noon, From blasting damps at night.

Verse 6

He guards thy soul, He keeps thy breath, Where thickest dangers come: Go, and return secure from death, Till God commands thee home.
