How blest are they, who fearing God

Hymnal: TBP1997 #1 (1997) First Line: How blest are they, who, fearing God Lyrics: 1 How blest are they, who, fearing God, from sin restrain their feet, who will not with the wicked stand, and shun the scorner's seat. 2 How blest are they who make God's law their treasure and delight, and meditate upon that word with gladness day and night. 3 Their lives are nourished like a tree set by the river's side; its leaf is green; its fruit is sure; so all their works abide. 4 The wicked, like the driven chaff, are blown across the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor in the judgement stand. 5 The Lord will guard the righteous well; their way to God is known, the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.

You hear me from your holy hill and answer when I cry aloud. 3 I go to rest, and sleep in peace– I wake again; God keeps me safe: ten thousand shall not make me fear, for all their threats to take my life. 4 Arise, O Lord, to rescue me: arise and save me, O my God!

Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Hymnal: TBP1997 #3 (1997) Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor, have mercy when I pray: you listened to my prayer before– LORD, hear my prayer today! 2 How long will people choose vain things, love empty words and wrong? They scorn to serve the King of kings– O living God, how long? 3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart by grace to be your own: let sinners tremble, search their hearts and bow before your throne. 4 While many pray that you will bless and bring them all they need, unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed. 5 Your light, O Lord, let us receive; your face within us shine, for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine. 6 And even when I turn to sleep your blessings still increase, for you alone, O Lord, will keep your child in perfect peace.

Without a word their songs roll on, into all lands their voices run. And with a champion’s strength and grace from farthest heaven comes forth the sun. 2 God’s perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise. its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. Forever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold was ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. 3 God’s servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide. Oh cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin; deliver me from selfish pride. Accept my thoughts and words and deeds; let them find favour in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O Lord, my refuge and my might.
