O ye holy and humble Men of heart, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Ye holy, humble Men of heart,
Praise God for your peculiar joys;—
Faith, which no dust of doubt alloys,
And hopes, that singing, upward dart;
A sweet content that dwells apart,
And perfect peace which never cloys:
Ye holy, humble Men of heart,
Praise God for your peculiar joys.
Praise God for your peculiar joys;—
Faith, which no dust of doubt alloys,
And hopes, that singing, upward dart;
A sweet content that dwells apart,
And perfect peace which never cloys:
Ye holy, humble Men of heart,
Praise God for your peculiar joys.
Your lives are void of guile or art;
Your ears are stopped to the vain noise
Of Siren-songs and tinkling toys;
No fears can make you swerve or start:
Ye holy, humble Men of heart,
Praise God for your peculiar joys.
Your ears are stopped to the vain noise
Of Siren-songs and tinkling toys;
No fears can make you swerve or start:
Ye holy, humble Men of heart,
Praise God for your peculiar joys.
