Liberality rewarded
Appears in 91 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112 First Line: Happy is he that fears the Lord Lyrics: 1 Happy is he that fears the LORD,
And follows his commands;
Who lends the poor without reward,
Or gives with lib'ral hands.
2 As pity dwells within his breast
To all the sons of need;
So GOD shall answer his request
With blessings on his seed.
3 No evil tidings shall surprise
His well-astablish'd mind;
His soul to GOD, his refuge flies,
And leaves his fears behind.
4 In times of general distress
Some beams of light shall shine,
To shew the world his righteousness,
And give him peace divine.
5 His works of piety and of love
Remain before the LORD;
Honour on earth, and joys above,
Shall be his sure reward.
Liberality rewarded
Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,222 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom;
lead thou me on.
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene - one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone;
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
