How blest the man that fears the Lord

1 How blest the man that fears the Lord,
And makes his law his chief delight;
His seed shall share his great reward,
And on the earth be men of might.

Chorus:
How blest the man that fears the Lord,
And makes his law his chief delight;
His seed shall share his great reward,
And on the earth be men of might.
His seed shall share his great reward,
And on the earth be men of might.

2 Abounding wealth shall bless his home,
His righteousness shall still endure;
To him shall light arise in gloom;
He's kind, compassionate and pure. [Chorus]

3 The good will favor show, and lend,
And his affairs discreetly guide:
Unmoved he stands till life shall end,
His name and honor shall abide. [Chorus]

4 No evil tidings shall he fear;
His heart doth on the Lord repose;
He stands unmoved by dangers near,
Till he shall see his prostrate foes. [Chorus]

5 Dispersing gifts among the poor,
His lib'ral hands their wants supply;
His righteousness shall still endure,
His pow'r shall be exalted high. [Chorus]

6 The wicked shall his honor see,
Consume with grief, and gnash and wail;
Their hopes shall disappointed be,
And their desires forever fail. [Chorus]
