Of God I Sing

Youtube Video

 

From Bill Carle's album of the same title.  This song, "Of God I Sing" was written by Stuart Hamblen.  Bill Carle was a trained bass singer, appearing as soloist with the NY Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall.  He also sang before King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.  On April 22, 1950, after becoming a Christian, Mr. Carle dedicated his talents to sing only for and of his Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.



Lyrics based on Psalm 121:

O'er the Hills, I lift My eyes—
Whither shall I look for aid?
My help cometh from the Lord,
Who both heaven and earth hath made.
For the Lord in watchful keeping
Guides thy steps along the way,
In the night protects thee sleeping,
Shelters thee throughout the day.

Chorus—
Of God I sing, Of God I sing,
The song that God gave to a king.
Of God I sing, Of God I sing,
Of our great God I sing.

Day by day and hour by hour
God will keep thee from all ill.
Overshadowed by His pow'r,
Thou art well protected still.
He will not let evil harm thee
Near at home nor far afield;
Why should any fear alarm thee
For the Lord God is thy shield?!

Chorus—
