Text:Come, let us praise the Lord

203. Come, let us praise the Lord

1. Come, let us praise the Lord:
He's bless'd the Lord that fears;
Whose Heart the greatest Love,
To his Commandments bears.
2. His Seed renown'd,
On Earth, shall be;
His Progeny
With Blessings crown'd.

3. His House with Wealth shall flow;
His Justice never fails.
4. The Light shall on him shine,
When Darkness most prevails.
His gentle Mind
The Poor's Grief feels,
He justly deals
With all Mankind.

5. A good Man Favour shows.
And lends, nor hopes for Gain;
His Business wisely guides;
6. He shall unmov'd remain
The just Man's Name,
With Fragrance, shall,
Thro' Ages all,
Still live in Fame.

7. No evil Tidings shall,
His Mind, with Fear, surprize,
His Heart is firmly fix'd,
And on the Lord relies;
8. With sweet Repose,
Fearless, to see
The high Decree,
Seize on his Foes.

9. He wide dispers'd his Alms,
And gave the Poor Supplies;
His Righteousness shall last,
His Horn, in Glory, rise.
I0. Sinners shall see,
Grieve, gnash, and pine,
But their Design
Shall blasted be.
