1 Thrice happy man who fears the Lord,
Loves His commands, and trusts His Word;
Honor and peace his days attend,
And blessings to his seed descend.
2 Compassion dwells upon His mind,
To works of mercy still inclined;
He lends the poor some present aid,
Or gives them, not to be repaid.
3 When times grow dark, and tidings spread
That fill his neighbors round with dread,
His heart is armed against the fear,
For God with all His power is there.
4 His soul, well fixed upon the Lord,
Draws heav’nly courage from His Word;
Amidst the darkness light shall rise,
To cheer his heart and bless his eyes.
5 He hath dispersed his alms abroad;
His works are still before His God;
His name on earth shall long remain,
While envious sinners fret in vain.
