Lyrics

The man that fears the Lord
God’s way shall un­der­stand;
His soul shall ev­er dwell at ease,
His child­ren rule the land.

The friend­ship of the Lord
Is ev­er with His own,
And un­to those that fear His name
His faith­ful­ness is shown.

My eyes are ev­er­more
Toward Thee, O Lord, whose care
Shall sure­ly save my heed­less feet
From ev­ery hid­den snare.

O turn to me Thy face,
To me Thy mer­cy show,
For I am ve­ry de­so­late
And brought ex­ceed­ing low.
