The Blessings of the liberal man

Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112 First Line: That man is blest who stands in awe Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who stands in awe Of GOD, and loves his sacred law: His seed on earth shall be renown'd; His house the seat of wealth shall be, An inexhausted treasury, And with successive honours crown'd. 2 His lib'ral favours he extends, To some he gives, to others lends; A gen'rous pity fills his mind: Yet what his charity impairs, He saves by prudence in affairs, And thus he's just to all mankind. 3 His hands, while they his alms bestow'd, His glory's future harvest sow'd: The sweet remembrance of the just, Like a green root, revives and bears A train of blessings for his heirs, When dying nature sleeps in dust. 4 Beset with threat'ning dangers round, Unmoved shall he maintain his ground; His conscience holds his courage up: The soul that's filled with virtue's light, Shines brightest in affliction's night, And sees in darkness beams of hope. Pause. 5 [Ill tidings never can surprise His heart, that fix'd on GOD relies, Tho' waves and tempests roar around: Safe on the rock he sits and sees The shipwreck of his enemies, And all their hope and glory drown'd. 6 The wicked shall his triumph see, And gnash their teeth in agony, To find their expectations crost: They and their envy, pride and spite, Sink down to everlasting night, And all their names in darkness lost.]

The Blessings of the Pious and Charitable

Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112 First Line: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy man who fears the LORD, Loves his commands and trusts his word; Honour and peace his days attend, And blessings to his seed descend. 2 Compassion dwells upon his mind; To works of mercy still inclin'd; He lends the poor some present aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. 3 When times grow dark, and tidings spread That fill his neighbours round with dread, His heart is arm'd against the fear, For GOD with all his pow'r is there. 4 His soul well fix'd upon the LORD, Draws heav'nly courage from his word; Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. 5 He hath dispers'd his alms abroad, His works are still before his GOD; His name on earth shall long remain, While envious sinners fret in vain.

The man is blest that God doth fear

Author: W. K. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 112 Lyrics: 1 The man is blest that God doth fear, and that his law doth love indeed; His seed on earth God will uprear, and bless such as from him proceed; His house with riches he will fill, his righteousness endure shall still. 2 Unto the righteous doth arise in trouble joy, in darkness light: Compassion great is in his eyes, and mercy always in his sight. Yea, pity moveth him to lend, he doth with judgment things expend, 3 And surely he shall never fail, for in remembrance had is he; Nor tidings ill his mind assail, who in the Lord sure hope doth see; His heart is firm, his fear is past, for he shall see his foes down cast, 4 He did well for the poor provide, his righteousness doth still remain; And his estate with praise abide, which wicked men behold with pain; Yea, gnash their teeth thereat shall they, and so consume and melt away.
