Psalm 128
Words: Isaac Watts
1 O happy man, whose soul is filled
With zeal and reverent awe!
His lips to God their honors yield,
His life adorns the law.
2 A careful providence shall stand
And ever guard thy head,
Shall on the labors of thy hand
Its kindly blessings shed.
3 Thy wife shall be a fruitful vine;
Thy children round thy board
Each like a plant of honor shine,
and learn to fear the Lord.
4 The Lord shall thy best hopes fulfill
For months and years to come;
The Lord, who dwells on Zion's hill,
Shall send thee blessings home.
5 This is the man whose happy eyes
Shall see his house increase;
Shall see the sinking church arise,
Then leave the world in peace.
