No careless slumber shall his eyelids close, who keepeth thee. Behold, he sleepeth not, he slumbereth ne'er, who keepeth Israel in his holy care. 3 Jehovah is himself thy keeper true, thy changeless shade; Jehovah thy defence on thy right hand himself hath made, and thee no sun by day shall ever smite; no moon shall harm thee in the silent night. 4 From every evil shall he keep thy soul, from every sin: Jehovah shall preserve thy going out, thy coming in. Above thee watching, he whom we adore shall keep thee henceforth, yea, forevermore.

Unless the Lord constructs the house

Author: Mollie Knight Hymnal: TBP1997 #88 (1997) Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house, the builders work in vain; the Lord alone designs and builds foundations that remain. 2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch, the city cannot stand; the sentry guards the gates in vain without God's mighty hand. 3 In vain you labour night and day, by constant care oppressed; the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs and grants them sleep and rest. 4 The Lord designed the family, providing earthly love; our children are God's heritage - a gift from heaven above. 5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand are those who bear our name; with them we face a hostile world assured and free from shame.
