I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes by Charles West — Lyrics
I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES
PSALM 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.(King James Version)
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip –
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

About I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes
Charles West's setting of I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes draws on the rich tradition of sacred music. The text, a psalm of trust and reliance on divine protection, is expressively rendered in English. This SAATB arrangement offers a substantial yet accessible musical setting, suitable for a choir seeking a devotional piece. The composer explores the themes of steadfastness and heavenly guardianship with a vocal texture that allows for both blended sonority and clear enunciation of the psalm's comforting words. It serves as a powerful musical reflection on faith and the ever-present watchfulness of the Lord.
