The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10224

10224. Happy Is He That Fears The Lord

1 Happy is he that fears the Lord,
And follows His commands;
Who lends the poor without rewards,
Or gives with liberal 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-established 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 show the world his righteousness,
And give him peace divine.

5 His works of piety and love
Remain before the Lord;
Honor on earth and joys above
Shall be his sure reward.
