O Blest is Every Man ~ Psalm 128

O, blest is ev’ry man who fears the Lord above,
Who walks within His ways,
From straight paths never moved.
And by his hands, So he shall eat, His labor’s sweet, A happy man! (2x)
Within his blessed home, his wife shall ever be,
A fruitful vine of joy,
That brings prosperity.
Like olive plants, His table ‘round, Children are found, Posterity! (2x)
The man who fears the Lord, such blessings he shall find;
Now to Jerusalem,
The Lord be good and kind.
And may you see, With happy eyes, Children arise, And Israel’s peace! (2x)
