Happy Is He That Fears The Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Happy is he that fears the Lord, And follows His commands; Who lends the poor without rewards, Or gives with liberal hands. 2 As pity dwells within his breast To all the sons of need; So God shall answer his request With blessings on his seed. 3 No evil tidings shall surprise His well-established mind; His soul to God his refuge flies, And leaves his fears behind. 4 In times of general distress Some beams of light shall shine, To show the world his righteousness, And give him peace divine. 5 His works of piety and love Remain before the Lord; Honor on earth and joys above Shall be his sure reward.

Today, O Lord, a holier work Thy secret counsels frame, A king to rule Thy new made world, To praise Thy glorious name. 2. Thou formest man: Thy Spirit breathes Life into dust of earth: Man, in Thine own true image made, From Thee receives his birth. 3. And henceforth he dominion holds O’er all in earth and sea; Yet mindful whence his being came Must humbly walk with Thee. 4. Alas! his willful heart rebels Against Thy gentle sway; Proud dust of earth would fain be like The God whom all obey. 5. O griefs and sorrows numberless, Which hence the world o’erspread; Jesu, Thy mercy succored us, Or hope itself had fled. 6. O praise the Father, and the Son Who saved us by His death, And Holy Ghost who quickens us With His life giving breath.

Glory to God! whose witness-train

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory to God! whose witness-train, Those heroes bold in faith, Could smile on poverty and pain, And triumph even in death. 2 Oh, may that faith our hearts sustain, Wherein they fearless stood, When, in the power of cruel men, They poured their willing blood. 3 God, whom we serve, our God, can save, Can damp the scorching flame, Can build an ark, can smooth the wave. For such as love his name. 4 Lord! if thine arm support us still With its eternal strength, We shall o'ercome the mightiest ill, And conquerors prove at length.

Shout To The Lord, And Let Our Joys

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shout to the Lord, and let our joys Throughout the nations run; Exulting skies, resound the noise Beyond the rising sun. 2 Thee, mighty God, our souls admire, To Thee glad voices sing, And join with the celestial choir To praise th’eternal King. 3 Thy power the whole creation rules, And on the starry skies Sits smiling at the weak designs Thine envious foes devise. 4 Thy scorn derides their feeble rage, And, with an awful frown, Flings vast confusion on their plots, And shakes their Babel down. 5 Their secret fires in caverns lay, And we the sacrifice; But gloomy caverns strove in vain To ’scape all-searching eyes. 6 Their dark designs were all revealed, Their treasons all betrayed: Praise to the God that broke the snare Their cursed hands had laid. 7 In vain the busy sons of hell Still new rebellions try, Their souls shall pine with envious rage, And vex away and die. 8 Almighty grace defends our land From their malicious power; So let us in united songs Almighty grace adore.
