Happy Is He Who Fears the Lord
}
Happy is he who fears the Lord,
And follows his commands;
Who lends the poor without reward,
Or gives with liberal hands.
As pity dwells within his breast,
To all the sons of need,
So God shall answer his request,
With blessings on his seed.
In times of danger and distress,
Some beams of light shall shine,
To show the world his righteousness,
And give him peace divine.
His works of piety and love
Remain before the Lord;
Honor on earth, and joys above,
Shall be his sure reward.
