How Happy Are They

Author: Henry Wotton, 1568-1639 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Love and Compassion First Line: How happy are they, born or taught Lyrics: 1 How happy are they, born or taught, who do not serve another’s will; whose armor is their honest thought, and simple truth their highest skill; 2 Whose passions not their rulers are; whose souls are still, and free from fear, not tied unto the world with care of public fame of private ear; 3 Who have their lives from rumors freed, whose conscience is their strong retreat, whose state no flattery can feed, nor ruin make oppressors great. 4 All such are freed from servile bands of hope to rise, or fear to fall; they rule themselves, but rule not lands, and, having nothing, yet have all.

Great is the Lord, his power unknown, And let his praise be great; I'll sing the honors of thy throne, Thy works of grace repeat. Thy grace shall dwell upon my tongue; And while my lips rejoice, The men that hear my sacred song Shall join their cheerful voice. Fathers to sons shall teach thy name, And children learn thy ways; Ages to come thy truth proclaim, And nations sound thy praise. Thy glorious deeds of ancient date Shall through the world be known; Thine arm of power, thy heav'nly state, With public splendor shown. The world is managed by thy hands, Thy saints are ruled by love; And thine eternal kingdom stands, Though rocks and hills remove. Scripture: Psalm 145:11-13
