Those are the prayers of the saints, And these the hymns they raise, Jesus is kind to our Complaints, He loves to hear our praise. [Eternal Father, who shall look Into thy secret will? Who but the Son shall take that book, And open every sea]? He shall fulfil thy great decrees, The Son deserves it well: Lo! in his hand the sovereign keys Of heav'n, and death, and hell!] Now to the Lamb that once was slain Be endless blessings paid; Salvation, glory, joy, remain For ever on thy head. Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood, Hast set the pris'ners free; Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with thee. The worlds of nature and of grace Are put beneath thy power; Then shorten these delaying days, And bring the promised hour.

The man is ever blest

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #376 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners' ways; Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners' place. 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf, His name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How shall they bear to stand Before the judgment-seat Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overflow.
