Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Contentment First Line: Rest in the Lord and be thou still Lyrics: 1 Rest in the Lord and be thou still, With patience wait His holy will, Enduring to the end. Fret not tho' sinners' gains increase; forsake thy wrath, from anger cease; It will to evil tend. 2 The evildoer soon shall die, But those that on the Lord rely Shall all the land obtain; A little while and thou shalt see That wicked men cut off shall be, They shall be sought in vain. 3 Yea, thou shalt soon consider well The place where they were wont to dwell, And it shall not be found; But saints shall all the land possess, And find delight and happiness where fruits of peace abound. 4 The vile may plot against the just who in the Lord Jehovah trust, But God will scorn them all; The Lord their coming day shall see, When broken all their pow'r shall be, And ruin on them fall. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: KINGSTON

The Rewards of the Righteous

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Contentment First Line: The good man's steps are led aright Lyrics: 1 The good man's steps are led aright, His way is pleasing in God's sight, Established it shall stand; He shall not perish though he fall, The mighty Lord who rules o'er all Upholds him with His hand. 2 Though I am old who young have been, No saint have I forsaken seen, Nor yet his home in need; He ever lends in gracious ways, His life true charity displays, His sons are blest indeed. 3 Depart from evil, do thou well, And evermore securely dwell; Jehovah loves the right. His faithfulness His saints have proved, Forever they shall stand unmoved, But sinners God will smite. 4 The righteous, through His favoring hand, Shall yet inherit all the land And dwell therein for aye; He talks of wisdom and of right, In God's pure law is his delight, His steps go not astray. Scripture: Psalm 37 Used With Tune: LONSDALE
