How Blest the Man Who Fears the Lord

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

Thy mercy, Lord to me extend

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy, Lord, to me extend: on thy protection I depend, and to thy wings for shelter haste, until this storm be overpast. 2 To him I will in trouble cry, the sovereign Judge and God most high, who wonders hath for me begun, and will not leave his work undone. 3 For he from heaven shall quell the power of him who would my life devour; forth shall his truth and mercy send, and my distracted soul defend. 4 For I with cruel men converse, like hungry lions wild and fierce; with men whose teeth are spears, their words envenomed darts and two-edged swords. 5 Be thou, O God, exalted high: and, as thy glory fills the sky, so be it o'er the earth displayed, and thou, as there, be here obeyed! 6 To take me they their net prepared; my sinking soul almost despaired; but they are fallen, by thy decree, into the pit they dug for me. 7 O God, my heart is fixed, 'tis bent, its thankful tribute to present, and with my heart my voice I'll raise to thee, my God, in songs of praise. 8 Awake, my glory, harp and lute, no longer let your strings be mute; and I, my tuneful part to take, will with the early dawn awake. 9 Thy praises, Lord, I will resound to all the listening nations round; thy mercy highest heaven transcends, thy truth beyond the clouds extends. 10 Be thou, O God, exalted high! And, as thy glory fills the sky, so be it o'er the earth displayed, and thou, as there, be here obeyed. Scripture: Psalm 57 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
