Christ is merciful and mild

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #293 (1898) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Christ Poor Lyrics: 1 Christ is merciful and mild; He was once a little child; He whom heavenly hosts adore, Lived on earth among the poor. 2 Thus He laid His glory by, When for us He stooped to die; How I wonder, when I see His unbounded love to me. 3 He the sick to health restored, To the poor He preached the Word; Even children had a share Of His love and tender care. 4 Every bird can build its nest; Foxes have their place of rest: He, by whom the world was made, Had not where to lay His head. 5 He who is the Lord most high, Then was poorer far than I, That I might hereafter be Rich to all eternity.

Thrice happy man who fears the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #308 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor Lyrics: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord, Loves his commands, and trusts his word; Honor and peace his days attend, And blessings to his seed descend. Compassion dwells upon his mind, To works of mercy still inclined; He lends the poor some present aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. When times grow dark, and tidings spread That fill his neighbors round with dread, His heart is armed against the fear, For God with all his power is there. His soul, well fixed upon the Lord, Draws heav'nly courage from his word; Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. He hath dispersed his alms abroad; His works are still before his God; His name on earth shall long remain, While envious sinners fret in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

In times of general distress Some beams of light shall shine, To show the world his righteousness, And give him peace divine. His works of piety and love Remain before the Lord; Honor on earth and joys above Shall be his sure reward. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English
