Moderation

Author: Needham Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CXXXVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious steps Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose cautious steps Still keep the golden mean, Whose life, by wisdom's rules well form'd Declares a conscience clean. 2 Not of himself he highly thinks, Nor acts the boaster's part; His modest tongue the language speaks Of his still humbler heart. 3 Not in base scandal's arts he deals, For truth dwells in his breast; With grief he sees his neighbour's faults, And thinks and hopes the best. 4 What blessings bounteous heaven bestows, He takes with thankful heart; With temperance he both eats and drinks, And gives the poor a part. 5 To sect or party, his large soul Disdains to be confin'd; The good he loves of every name And prays for all mankind.

Moderation, or the saint indeed

Author: Needham Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Happy the man whose cautious steps Lyrics: 1 Happy the man whose cautious steps, still keep the golden mean; Whose life by wisdom's rules well form'd Declares a conscience clean. 2 Not of himself he highly thinks, Nor acts the boaster's part; His modest tongue the language speaks Of his still humbler heart. 3 Not in base scandal's arts he deals, For truth dwells in his breast; With grief he sees his neighbour's faults And thinks and hopes the best. 4 What blessings bounteous heaven bestows He takes with thankful heart With temperance he both eats and drinks, And gives the poor a part. 5 To sect or party, his large soul Disdains to be confin'd; The good he loves of every name And prays for all mankind. 6 Pure is his zeal, the offspring fair Of truth and heavenly love; The bigot's rage can never dwell Where rests the peaceful dove. 7 His business is to keep his heart, Each passion to control; Nobly ambitious well to rule The empire of his soul. 8 Not on the world his heart is set, His treasure is above; Nothing beneath the sovereign good, Can claim his highest love.
