BLEST THE MAN THAT FEARS JEHOVAH

1.  Blest the man that fears Jehovah
Walking ever in His ways
By thy toil thou shalt be prospered
And be happy all thy days.
In thy wife thou shalt have gladness,
She shall fill thy home with good,
Happy in her loving service
And the joys of motherhood.

2.  Joyful children, sons and daughters
Shall about thy table meet;
Olive plants in strength and beauty
Full of hope and promise sweet.
Lo, on him that fears Jehovah
Shall this blessèdness attend,
For Jehovah out of Zion
Shall to thee His blessing send.

3.  Blest the man that fears Jehovah
Walking ever in His ways.
By thy toil thou shalt be prospered
And be happy all thy days.
Thou shalt see God's kingdom prosper
All thy days, till life shall cease,
Thou shalt see thy children's children.
On Thy people, Lord, be peace.
