Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #237 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 112 Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who fears the Lord
And greatly loves God's holy will;
His children share his great reward,
And blessings all their days shall fill.
2 Abounding wealth shall bless his home,
His righteousness shall still endure,
To him shall light arise in gloom,
For he is merciful and pure.
3 The man whose hand the weak befriends
In judgment shall his cause maintain;
A peace unmoved his life attends,
And long his memory shall remain.
4 Of evil tidings not afraid,
His trust is in the Lord alone;
His heart is steadfast, undismayed,
For he shall see his foes o'erthrown.
5 With kind remembrance of the poor,
For their distress his gifts provide;
His righteousness shall thus endure,
His name in honor shall abide.
6 To shame the wicked shall be brought,
While righteous men shall favor gain;
Unrighteous hopes shall come to naught,
Its due reward shall sin obtain. Topics: Children; Christian Mercy; Offerings; The Poor; Prosperity; Rewards of Righteousness; Stedfastness Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
