Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#186

186. Blest are the souls that hear and know

1 Blest are the souls that hear and know
The gospel's joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.

2 Their joy shall bear their spirits up
Through their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.

3 The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and salvation gives:
Isr'el, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.
