Blest Are the Souls That Hear and Know

Blest are the souls that hear and know

That Gos­pel’s joy­ful sound;

Peace shall at­tend the path they go

And light their steps sur­round.

Their joy shall bear their spir­its up

Through their Re­deem­er’s name;

His right­eous­ness ex­alts their hope

Nor Sa­tan dares con­demn.

The Lord

our glo­ry and de­fense

Strength and sal­va­tion gives;

Israel

thy king for ev­er reigns

Thy God for ev­er lives.
