O Happy Is the Man Who Hears { O Happy Is the Man Who Hears ARLINGTON-Thomas A. Arne O Happy Is the Man Who Hears } O happy is the man who hears Instruction's warning voice, And who celestial wisdom makes His early, only choice. For she has treasures greater far Than eastern climes unfold; More precious are her bright rewards Then gems or stores of gold. Her right hand offers to the just Immortal, happy days; Her left, imperishable wealth And heavenly crowns displays. And, as her holy labours rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all here paths are peace.
