His Wide Dominion Shall Extend

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #141 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 His wide dominion shall extend From sea to utmost sea, And unto earth's remotest bounds His peaceful rule shall be. 2 The tribes that in the desert dwell Shall bow before His throne; His enemies shall be subdued, And He shall rule alone. 3 The kings shall come from distant lands And islands of the sea; Oblations they shall bring to Him and wait on ended knee. 4 Yea, all the kings shall bow to Him, His rule all nations hail; He will regard the poor man's cry When other helpers fail. 5 The poor and needy He shall spare, And save their souls from fear; He shall redeem them from all wrong, Their life to Him is dear. 6 So they shall live, and bring to Him Their gifts of finest gold; For Him shall constant prayer be made, His praise each day be told.

Thrice happy man who fears the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #308 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor Lyrics: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord, Loves his commands, and trusts his word; Honor and peace his days attend, And blessings to his seed descend. Compassion dwells upon his mind, To works of mercy still inclined; He lends the poor some present aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. When times grow dark, and tidings spread That fill his neighbors round with dread, His heart is armed against the fear, For God with all his power is there. His soul, well fixed upon the Lord, Draws heav'nly courage from his word; Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. He hath dispersed his alms abroad; His works are still before his God; His name on earth shall long remain, While envious sinners fret in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

No evil tidings shall surprise His well-established mind; His soul to God his refuge flies, And leaves his fears behind. In times of general distress Some beams of light shall shine, To show the world his righteousness, And give him peace divine. His works of piety and love Remain before the Lord; Honor on earth and joys above Shall be his sure reward. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

His lips abhor to talk profane, To slander or defraud; His ready tongue declares to men What he has learned of God. The law and gospel of the Lord Deep in his heart abide; Led by the Spirit and the word, His feet shall never slide. When sinners fall, the righteous stand, Preserved from every snare; They shall possess the promised land, And dwell for ever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16 Languages: English

Psalm 112

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.245 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor First Line: That man is blest who stands in awe Lyrics: That man is blest who stands in awe Of God, and loves his sacred law: His seed on earth shall be renowned; His house the seat of wealth shall be, An inexhausted treasury, And with successive honors crowned. His lib'ral favors he extends, To some he gives, to others lends; A gen'rous pity fills his mind: Yet what his charity impairs, He saves by prudence in affairs And thus he's just to all mankind. His hands, while they his alms bestowed, His glory's future harvest sowed; The sweet remembrance of the just, Like a green root, revives and bears A train of blessings for his heirs, When dying nature sleeps in dust. Beset with threat'ning dangers round, Unmoved shall he maintain his ground; His conscience holds his courage up: The soul that's filled with virtue's light, Shines brightest in affliction's night, And sees in darkness beams of hope. [Ill tidings never can surprise His heart that fixed on God relies, Though waves and tempests roar around: Safe on the rock he sits, and sees The shipwreck of his enemies, And all their hope and glory drowned. The wicked shall his triumph see, And gnash their teeth in agony, To find their expectations crossed; They and their envy, pride, and spite, Sink down to everlasting night, And all their names in darkness lost.] Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English
