The Blessings of the liberal Man

Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Good Works; Good Works First Line: That man is blest who stands in awe Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who stands in awe Of God, and loves his sacred law: His seed on earth shall be renown'd; His house the seat of wealth shall be, An unexhausted treasury, And with successive honours crown'd. 2 His liberal favours he extends, To some he gives, to others lends: A generous pity fills his mind: Yet what his charity impairs, He saves by prudence in affairs, And thus he's just to all mankind. 3 His hands, while they his alms bestow'd, His glory's future harvest sow'd, The sweet remembrance of the just Like a green root revives and bears A train of blessings for his heirs, When dying nature sleeps in dust. 4 Beset with threatening dangers round, Unmov'd shall he maintain his ground; His conscience holds his courage up; The soul that's filled with virtue's light, Shines brightest in affliction's night: And sees in darkness beams of grace. Pause. 5 [Ill tidings never can surprise His heart that fix'd on God relies, Though waves and tempests roar around: Safe on the rock he sits, and sees The shipwreck of his enemies, And all their hope and glory drown'd. 6 The wicked shall his triumph see, And gnash their teeth in agony, To find their expectations crost: They and their envy, pride and spite, Sink down to everlasting night, And all their names in darkness lost. Scripture: Psalm 112
