| Text: | How Happy Is the Man Who Hears |
| Author: | Michael Bruce |
| Tune: | DEVIZES |
| Composer: | I. Tucker |
1 How happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice!
His early, only choice!
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than East or West unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold,
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In happy paths to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head,
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace,
And all her paths are peace.
Amen.
