HIS NAME, by                    
First Line: I have lifted my eyes to the strength of the hills
Last Line: The lord is his name!
Subject(s): God


I have lifted my eyes to the strength of the hills
At the dawn of the day;
Felt the quickening stir of power that thrills,
Seen the night drift away;
Caught the first flush of dawn. Who is this, then, that fills With His spirit
my clay?

He that slumbereth not while I slumber, nor sleeps
While, protected, I sleep;
Who creates, shall sustain—who gave life shall renew—
Who hath promised, shall keep:

My shade from the sun and my shelter from the storm,
In the dark a clear flame,
It is He—ever Friend and Preserver, O Soul!
The Lord is His name!
