That Man is blest who stands in Awe

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P112a (1766) Topics: Blessings of a person; Charity and justice; Charity to the poor; Good Works; Liberality rewarded Lyrics: 1 That Man is blest who stands in Awe Of GOD, and loves his sacred Law, His Seed on Earth shall be renown'd; His House the Seat of Wealth shall be, An inexhausted Treasury, And with successive Honours crown'd. 2 His lib'ral Favours he extends, To some he gives, to others lends; A generous Pity fills his Mind: Yet what his Charity impairs, He saves by Prudence in Affairs And thus he's just to all Mankind. 3 His Hands, while they his Alms bestow'd, His Glory's future Harvest sow'd; 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. 4 Beset with threat'ning Dangers round, Unmov'd shall he maintain his Ground; His Conscience holds his Courage up: The Soul that's fill'd with Virtue's Light, Shines brightest in Affliction's Night; And sees in Darkness Beams of Hope. Pause. 5 [Ill Tidings never can surprize His Heart, that fix'd 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 drown'd. 6 The Wicked shall his Triumph see, And gnash their Teeth in Agony, To find their Expectations crost; They and their Envy, Pride, and Spite, Sink down to everlasting Night, And all their Names in Darkness lost.] Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P112b (1766) Topics: Blessings of a person; Charity and justice; Charity to the poor; Good Works; Liberality rewarded Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord, Loves his Commands, and trusts his Word; Honour and Peace his Days attend, And Blessings to his Seed descend. 2 Compassion dwells upon his Mind, To Works of Mercy still inclin'd; He lends the Poor some present Aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. 3 When times grow dark, and Tidings spread That fill his Neighbours round with Dread, His Heart is arm'd against the Fear, For GOD with all his Pow'r is there. 4 His Soul well fix'd upon the Lord, Draws heav'nly Courage from his Word; Amidst the Darkness Light shall rise, To chear his Heart and bless his Eyes. 5 He hath dispers'd 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

Happy is he that fears the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P112c (1766) Topics: Blessings of a person; Charity and justice; Charity to the poor; Good Works; Liberality rewarded Lyrics: 1 Happy is he that fears the Lord, And follows his Commands; Who lends the Poor without Reward, Or gives with lib'ral Hands. 2 As Pity dwells within his Breast To all the Sons of Need; So GOD shall answer his Request, With Blessings on his Seed. 3 No evil Tidings shall surprize His well-establish'd Mind; His soul to GOD, his Refuge, flies, And leaves his Fears behind. 4 In Times of general Distress Some Beams of Light shall shine, To shew the World his Righteousness, And give him Peace divine. 5 His Works of Piety and Love Remain before the Lord; Honour on Earth, and Joys above, Shall be his sure Reward.
