Tune: St Asaph
(\'Through the night of doubt and sorrow\')
Psalm 112
**********
Praise the Lord, and blessed be they who
Fear the Lord, his commands do
With great delight, loving, serving
Their worship to Him they bring
Their descendants shall be mighty
On the earth, live strong and free
Generation of the upright
Shall be blessed, live in His light
Wealth and riches shall they possess
Not be poor nor comfortless
Their righteousness endures ever
They parted from it never
Unto the upright does arise
Light in darkness, they are wise
They are gracious, compassionate
Righteous, to God their hearts set
A good person shows favour, lends
And with discretion attends
To their affairs, they shall not be
Moved, shaken, but constant, see
The righteous shall be e\'erlasting
Remembered, of them we sing
They shall not fear evil tidings
Their heart fixed, trust \'neath God\'s wings
Their heart is established, not fear
Enemies, but time shall near
When they shall see their desire on
Their foes, who shall fall, each one
The righteous have dispersed unto
The poor, for they good works do
Their righteousness endures ever
Their strength, honour, fails never
The wicked shall the righteous see
And shall be grieved, anguishedly
Shall gnash teeth and melt away for
They see righteous triumph sure
The desire of the wicked shall
Perish, come to naught, we tell
But the righteous endure ever
Their strength, honour, fails never
