Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #832 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: The men that fear the Lord Lyrics: 1 The men that fear the Lord,
In every state are blest;
The Lord will grant whate’er they want;
Their souls shall dwell at rest.
2 [His secrets they shall share,
His covenant shall learn;
Guided by grace, shall walk his ways,
And heavenly truths discern.]
3 [He pities all their griefs;
When sinking, makes them swim;
He dries their tears, relieves their fears,
And bids them trust in him.]
4 In his remembrance-book
The Saviour sets them down,
Accounting each a jewel rich,
And calls them all his own.
5 This fear’s the spirit of faith,
A confidence that’s strong;
An unctuous light to all that’s right,
A bar to all that’s wrong.
6 It gives religion life
To warm, as well as light;
Makes mercy sweet, salvation great,
And all God’s judgments right. Languages: English
