Hymns

Where shall the man be found

by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)

Based on Ps 25:12,14,10,13

1

Where shall the man be found
That fears t' offend his God?
That loves the gospel's joyful sound,
And trembles at the rod?

2

The Lord shall make him know
The secrets of his heart,
The wonders of his cov'nant show,
And all his love impart.

3

The dealings of his hand
Are truth and mercy still,
With such as to his cov'nant stand,
And love to do his will.

4

Their souls shall dwell at ease
Before their Maker's face;
Their seed shall taste the promises
In their extensive grace.
