Blest the Man That Fears Jehovah

Representative Text

1 Blessed the man that fears Jehovah,
walking ever in His ways,
by thy toil thou shalt be prospered
and be happy all thy days.

2 In thy wife thou shalt have gladness,
she shall fill thy home with good,
happy in her loving service
and the joys of motherhood.

3 Joyful children, sons and daughters,
shall about thy table meet,
olive plants, in strength and beauty,
full of hope and promise sweet.

4 Lo, on him that fears Jehovah
shall this blessedness attend,
for Jehovah out of Zion
shall to thee His blessing send.

5 Thou shalt see God's kingdom prosper
all thy days, till life shall cease,
thou shalt see thy children's children;
on thy people, LORD, be peace.
