Blest Are the Souls That Hear and Know

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

Blest are the souls that hear and know The gospel's joyful sound; Peace shall attend the path they go, And light their steps surround. 2. Their joy shall bear their spirits up Through their Redeemer's name; His righteousness exalts their hope, Nor Satan dares condemn. 3. The Lord, our glory and defence, Strength and salvation gives; Isr'el, thy King for ever reigns, Thy God for ever lives.
