¶Lyrics / Text

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.
