Psalm 41

Author: Mrs. A. L. Barbauld Hymnal: Laudes Domini #474 (1888) Topics: Activity First Line: Blest is the man whose softening heart Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man whose softening heart Feels all another's pain; To whom the supplicating eye Was never raised in vain:-- 2 Whose breast expands with generous warmth A stranger's woes to feel; And bleeds in pity o'er the wound He wants the power to heal. 3 He spreads his kind supporting arms To every child of grief; His secret bounty largely flows, And brings unasked relief. 4 To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow: He views, through mercy's melting eye, A brother in a foe. 5 Peace from the bosom of his God, The Saviour's grace shall give; And, when he kneels before the throne, His trembling soul shall live.

Rescue the Perishing

Chorus: Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. 2 Tho' they are slighting him, Still he is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive. Plead with them earnestly, Plead with them gently; He will forgive if they only believe.
