His alms with liberal heart he gives Amongst the sons of need; His memory to long ages lives And blessèd is his seed. 4. His lips abhor to talk profane, To slander or defraud; His ready tongue declares to men What he has learned of God. 5. The law and Gospel of the Lord Deep in his heart abide; Led by the Spirit and the Word, His feet shall never slide. 6. When sinners fall, the righteous stand, Preserved from every snare; They shall possess the promised land And dwell for ever there. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON
