Liberality rewarded

Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Liberality rewarded; Liberality rewarded First Line: Happy is he that fears the Lord Lyrics: 1 Happy is he that fears the Lord, And follows his commands, Who lends the poor without reward, Or gives with liberal 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 surprise His well-establish'd mind! His soul to God, his refuge flies, And leaves his fears behind. 4 In times of danger and distress Some beams of light shall shine, To shew the world his righteousness, And give him peace divine. 5 His works of piety and of love Remain before the Lord; Honour on earth and joys above, Shall be his sure reward. Scripture: Psalm 112

The Blessings of the Pious and Charitable

Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Liberality rewarded; Liberality rewarded First Line: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord 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 power is there. 4 His spirit fix'd upon the Lord Draws heavenly courage from his word; Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer 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 rage in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112

Charity to the Poor; or Pity to the Afflicted

Appears in 86 hymnals Topics: Liberality rewarded; Liberality rewarded First Line: Blest is the man, whose breast can move Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, whose breast can move, And melt with pity to the poor, Whose soul, by sympathizing love, Feels what his fellow-saints endure. 2 His heart contrives for their relief. More good than his own hands can do; He in the time of general grief Shall find the Lord has mercy too. 3 His soul shall live secure on earth, With secret blessings on his head, When drouth, and pestilence, and death, Around him multiply their dead. 4 Or if he languish on his couch God will pronounce his sins forgiven, Will save him with a healing touch, Or take his willing soul to heaven. Scripture: Psalm 41:1-3

The Blessings of the liberal Man

Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Liberality rewarded; Liberality rewarded First Line: That man is blest who stands in awe 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 unexhausted treasury, And with successive honours crown'd. 2 His liberal 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 threatening dangers round, Unmov'd 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 grace. Pause. 5 [Ill tidings never can surprise 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

Amen. Let age to age eternally Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Used With Tune: SOUTHPORT
