First Line: O happy man, whose soul is fill'd Lyrics: 1 O happy man, whose soul is fill'd
With zeal and reverent awe!
His lips to God their honours yield,
His life adorns the law.
2 A careful providence shall stand
And ever guard thy head,
Shall on the labours of thy hand
Its kindly blessings shed.
3 Thy wife shall be a fruitful vine;
Thy children round thy board,
Each like a plant of honour shine,
And learn to fear the Lord.
4 The Lord shall thy best hopes fulfil
For months and years to come;
The Lord who dwells on Zion's hill
Shall send thee blessings home.
5 This is the man whose happy eyes
Shall see his house increase,
Shall see the sinking church arise,
Then leave the world in peace. Topics: Blessings of a family; Family blessings; Blessings of a family; Family blessings Scripture: Psalm 128 Languages: English
