1. Unto the hills I lift my eyes,
The shining hills of Paradise,
From whence the promised help I bring,
The present help of Israel’s King.
Chorus:
Unto the hills, (Unto the hills,) the shining hills, (the shining hills,)
The hills of God, (The hills of God,) beyond the skies; (beyond the skies;)
Unto the hills, (Unto the hills,) the shining hills,
I will lift up (I will lift up) in faith mine eyes.
2. God’s glory lights that blessed place,
There flow for me the streams of grace;
I forward press to win the prize,
While to the hills I lift my eyes.
3. I look, and from His throne divine
“The light of life” doth on me shine;
With joy it doth my spirit fill,
And in His light I know His will.
4. Unto the hills I lift my eyes,
Their glory just before me lies;
That glory soon I shall attain,
And enter there with Christ to reign.
5. He slumbers not, He will not sleep,
El Shaddai my soul will keep
Until with joy I shall arise,
To meet my Lord beyond the skies.
