I will lift up mine eyes by Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson — Lyrics
PSALM 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heav'n and earth.

About I will lift up mine eyes
The words of this anthem, drawn from Psalm 121, speak of seeking help and assurance from the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth. The text assures the listener that the keeper of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps, offering a message of constant protection. Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson sets this profoundly comforting text for SATB choir. The language is primarily English, with a short phrase also rendered in Icelandic, adding a unique cultural dimension to this sacred work.
