Author: W. K. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112 First Line: The man is blest that God doth feare Lyrics: 1 The man is blest that God doth feare,
And that his law doth love indeed:
2 His seed on earth God will upreare,
And blesse such as from him proceed,
3 His house with good he will fulfill,
His righteousnesse endure shall still.
4 Unto the righteous doth arise
On trouble joy, in darknesse light:
Compassion is in his eyes,
And mercy alwaies in his sight:
5 Yea, pitie moveth him to lend
He doth with judgment things expend.
6 And surely such shall never faile
For in remembrance had is he:
7 Nor tidings ill can make him quaile,
Who in the Lord sure hope doth see/
8 His heart is firm, his feare is past,
for he shall see his foes down cast.
9 He did well for the poore provide,
His righteousnesse shall still remaine:
And his estate with praise abide,
Though that the wicked man disdaine.
10 Yea gnash his teeth thereat shall he
And so consume his state to see.
Beatus vir
