LyicsHappy is he that fears the Lord
And follows his commands,
Who lends the poor without reward,
Or gives with lib'ral hands;
As pity dwells within his breast,
To all the sons of need;
So God shall answer his request,
With blessings on his seed.
No evil tidings shall surprise
His well establish'd mind;
His soul to God, his refuge, flies
And leaves his fears behind.
In times of danger and distress
Some beams of light shall shine,
To shew the world his right'ousness,
And give him peace within.
His works of piety and love
Remain before the Lord;
Honor on earth and joys above
Shall be his sure reward.
