¶Lyrics / Text

Blessed are they that considereth the poor and needy: the Lord will deliver them in time of trouble, the Lord preserve them and comfort them. They deliver the poor that crieth, the fatherless and him that hath none to help him. The Lord will comfort them. O God, who from the suckling’s mouth ordaineth early praise, of such as worship Thee in truth accept the humble lays. The charitables shall be had in everlasting remembrance and the good will shine as the brightness of the firmament. Comfort them, O Lord, when they are sick: make thou their bed in sickness. Keep them alive, let them be blessed upon the earth and not deliver them unto their foes. Hallelujah. The Kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. Hallelujah!
