From F. Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Lift Thine Eyes

Lift thine eyes, O lift thine eyes to the mountains, whence cometh, whence cometh help. Thy help cometh, cometh from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He hath said, “thy foot shall not be moved.” Thy keeper will never slumber, never, will never slumber. Lift thine eyes, O lift thine eyes to the mountains, whence cometh, whence cometh help.
