How Blest the Man Who fears the Lord
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #237 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Rewards of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who fears the Lord
And greatly loves God's holy will;
His children share his great reward,
And blessings all their days shall fill.
2 Abounding wealth shall bless his home,
His righteousness shall still endure,
To him shall light arise in gloom,
For he is merciful and pure.
3 The man whose hand the weak befriends
In judgment shall his cause maintain;
A peace unmoved his life attends,
And long his memory shall remain.
4 Of evil tidings not afraid,
His trust is in the Lord alone;
His heart is steadfast, undismayed,
For he shall see his foes o'erthrown.
5 With kind remembrance of the poor,
For their distress his gifts provide;
His righteousness shall thus endure,
His name in honor shall abide.
6 To shame the wicked shall be brought,
While righteous men shall favor gain;
Unrighteous hopes shall come to naught,
Its due reward shall sin obtain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE

My Savior, my almighty Friend,
When I begin thy praise,
Where will the growing numbers end,
The numbers of thy grace?
Thou art my everlasting trust,
Thy goodness I adore;
And since I knew thy graces first,
I speak thy glories more.
My feet shall travel all the length
Of the celestial road,
And march with courage in thy strength,
To see my Father God.
When I am filled with sore distress
For some surprising sin,
I'll plead thy perfect righteousness,
And mention none but thine.
How will my lips rejoice to tell
The vict'ries of my King!
My soul, redeemed from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing.
My tongue shall all the day proclaim
My Savior and my God;
His death has brought my foes to shame,
And drowned them in his blood.
Awake, awake, my tuneful powers;
With this delightful song
I'll entertain the darkest hours,
Nor think the season long.

God of my childhood and my youth,
The guide of all my days,
I have declared thy heav'nly truth,
And told thy wondrous ways.
Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs,
And leave my fainting heart?
Who shall sustain my sinking years,
If God my strength depart?
Let me thy power and truth proclaim
To the surviving age;
And leave a savor of thy name
When I shall quit the stage.
The land of silence and of death
Attends my next remove;
O may these poor remains of breath
Teach the wide world thy love!
Thy righteousness is deep and high,
Unsearchable thy deeds;
Thy glory spreads beyond the sky,
And all my praise exceeds.
Oft have I heard thy threat'nings roar,
And oft endured the grief;
But when thy hand has pressed me sore,
Thy grace was my relief.
By long experience have I known
Thy sovereign power to save;
At thy command I venture down
Securely to the grave.
When I lie buried deep in dust,
My flesh shall be thy care;
These withering limbs with thee I trust,
To raise them strong and fair.
Scripture: Psalm 71:17-21 Languages: English

How heavy is the Night
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XCVIII (1766) Topics: Christ Our Wisdom and Righteousness; Righteousness and Strength in Christ Lyrics: 1 How heavy is the Night

Till Christ, with his reviving Light,

But in his Righteousness array'd
We see our Sins forgiven.
3 Unholy and impure
Are all our Thoughts and Ways,
His Hands infected Nature cure
With sanctifying Grace.
4 The Pow'rs of Hell agree
To hold our Souls in vain;
He sets the Sons of Bondage free,
And breaks the cursed Chain.

To bring us near to God,
Thy Sov'reign Pow'r, thy healing Grace,
And thine atoning Blood. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30 Languages: English

But Faith can answer thy Demands,
By pleading what my Lord has done.

Behold how Sinners disagree
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXXXI (1766) Topics: Righteousness and Self-Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Behold how Sinners disagree,
The Publican and Pharisee!
One doth his Righteousness proclaim,
The other owns his Guilt and Shame.
2 This Man at humble Distance stands,
And cries for Grace with lifted Hands;
That boldly rises near the Throne,
And talks of Duties he has done.
3 The Lord their diff'rent Language knows,
And diff'rent Answers he bestows;
The humble Soul with Grace he crowns,
Whilst on the Proud his Anger frowns.
4 Dear Father let me never be
Join'd with the boasting Pharisee;
I have no Merits of my own
But plead the Suff'rings of thy Son. Scripture: Luke 18:10-14 Languages: English

And, lo! this charge I give to you.

Clothe thee with righteousness divine;
Not creature’s righteousness, but mine.
3 “Satan avaunt; stand off, ye foes;
In vain ye rail, in vain oppose;
Your cancelled claim no more obtrude;
He’s mine; I bought him with my blood.
4 “Sinner, thou stand’st in me complete;
Though they accuse thee, I acquit;
I bore for thee the avenging ire,
And plucked thee burning from the fire.” Languages: English

My joy and crown above.
