That man is blest, who stands in awe
Of God, and loves his sacred law;
His seed on earth shall be renowned,
And with successive honours crowned.
The soul that’s filled with virtue’s light
Shines brightest in affliction’s night;
His conscience bears his courage up;
He sees in darkness beams of hope.
Beset with threatening dangers round,
Unmoved shall he maintain is ground;
The sweet remembrance of the Just
Shall flourish when he sleeps in dust.
