1. Alleluia, alleluia; Blessed are they who fear you, Lord, Cherishing closely all your law, Diligent in your living word. Ends of the earth through them are blest Finding through them God manifest. 2. Great is the bounty they shall find, Hallowed in righteousness each day. Into their darkness light will shine, Justice and peace will pave their way. Keeping their word of honour, they Lend from that bounty graciously. 3. Many their blessings down the years, Never will their foundations move. Of grievous news they need no fears, Putting their trust, O Lord, in you, Quietly confident through strife; Rising above the storms of life. 4. Sharing their gifts with those in need: They live their life at God's right hand. Unlike them, though, the wicked seem Vexed as they see the righteous stand; Wasting away to naught, as they eXclude themselves from God's own way. Coda You are our God! We evermore Zealously sing: alleluia.
