Text: | How blest the children of the Lord |
Author: | Harriet Auber |
Tune: | DENFIELD |
Composer: | Carl G. Glaser |
1 How blest the children of the Lord,
Who, walking in his sight,
Make all the precepts of his word
Their study and delight!
2 That precious wealth shall be their dower,
Which cannot know decay;
Which moth and rust shall ne'er devour,
Or spoiler take away.
3 For them that heavenly light shall spread
Whose cheering rays illume
The darkest hours of life, and shed
A halo round the tomb.
4 Their works of piety and love,
Performed through Christ, their Lord,
Forever registered above,
Shall meet a sure reward.
