Happy the man, whose tender care

Verse 1

Happy the man, whose tender care Relieves the poor distrest, When he's by trouble compass'd round, The Lord shall give him rest.

Verse 2

The Lord his life, with blessings crown'd, In safety shall prolong! And disappoint the will of those Who seek to do him wrong.

Verse 3

If he, in languishing estate, Opprest with sickness, lie; The Lord will easy make his bed, And inward strength supply.
