Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) #P.IV (1792) Lyrics: 1 Lord, who's the happy man that may
To thy blest courts repair;
Not, stranger-like, to visit them,
But to inhabit there?
2 'Tis he, whose ev'ry thought and deed
By rules of virtue moves;
Whose gen'roust disdains to speak
The thing his heart disproves.
3 Who never did a slander forge,
His neighbour's fame to wound;
Nor hearken to a false report,
by malice whisper'd round.
4 Who vice, in all its pomp and pow'r,
can treat with just neglect;
And piety, tho' cloath'd in rags,
Religiously respect.
5 Who to his plighted vows and trust
Has ever firmly stood;
And though he promise to his Loss,
He makes his promise good.
6 The man, who, by this steady course,
Has happiness insur'd,
When earth's foundation shakes, shall stand,
By Providence secur'd.

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Tate Author of "Lord, who's the happy man that may" in A Collection of Psalms and Hymns, for Social and Private Worship Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.
