PSALM CXXI

By Hannah Lavinia Baily

Lift up thine eyes unto the hills;

A pure and fragrant breath

Is wafted from their purple tops,—

The Heaven-sent breath of Faith.

Lift up thine eyes unto the hills;

Beyond their shadowy slope

The Sun of Righteousness doth rise

In roseate dawn of Hope.

Lift up thine eyes unto the hills;

Around, below, above,

The holy sky is all aglow

With the warm light of Love.

Lift up thine eyes unto the hills;—

Faith, Hope and Love are given

To point from fading joys of earth,

To endless joy of Heaven.
