"Happy the Man Who Feareth God"
                        by Martin Luther, 1483-1546
                               Text From:
                      EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN HYMN-BOOK
        (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1927), pp. 411-412



        1. Happy the man who feareth God,
        Whose feet His holy ways have trod;
        Thine own good hand shall nourish thee,
        And well and happy shalt thou be.

        2. Lo! to that man these blessings cleave
        Who in God's holy fear doth live;
        From him the ancient curse hath fled
        By Adam's race inherited.

        3. Out of Mount Zion God shall send
        And crown with joy thy latter end,
        That thou Jerusalem may'st see
        In favor and prosperity.

        4. He shall be with thee in thy ways
        And give thee health and strength of days:
        Yea, thou shalt children's children see,
        And peace on Israel shall be.

        5. Praise God the Father, God the Son,
        And God the Spirit, Three in One;
        As 'twas through ages heretofore,
        Is now, and shall be evermore.
