If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
and the light become night around me,”
And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.

they would outnumber the grains of sand —
when I awake, I am still with you.
