Godly Graces

Tune: Song 34

(\'Forth in they name, O Lord, I go\')

Psalm 112

********

Praise you the LORD, blesséd be they

That fear the LORD, e\'en for alway

That delight greatly to obey

Follow His commandments each day

 

Their seed on earth shall be mighty

Upright generation blessed be

Wealth and riches be in homes there

Their righteousness endures for e\'er

 

Unto the upright arises

Light in the darkness they see this

They gracious, full of compassion

And righteous, fair, be every one

 

Good people show favour and lend

Unto the needy they well tend

They guide affairs with discretion

Justice seen in their dealings done

 

Surely they shall not be moved e\'er

Shaken up shall their state be ne\'er

The righteous shall everlasting

Be in remembrance, each good thing

 

They shall not fear evil tidings

Whate\'er each situation brings

Their heart is fixed, steadfast, trusting

In the LORD, safe beneath His wing

 

Their heart is established, they shall

Not be afraid, and shall do well

Shall see [their] desire on enemies

The LORD from them releases, frees

 

They have dispersed unto the poor

Their righteousness endures e\'ermore

Their strength shall be with honour due

Exalted, they shall it renew

 

The wicked shall see and be grieved

Their justice they shall have received

Shall melt away,and their desire

Perish, as if burned up by fire
