Analysis of Bless Who Fear God
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Bless all of those who fear the Lord,
Blessing those who walk in His ways;
Because they walk in one accord,
Continue to worship as one prays.
You eat the fruit of your labor,
Blessing the work done by your hands;
It is well helping your neighbor,
In showing him how the Lord stands.
Your wife is like a fruitful vine,
Your children are like olive shoots;
Family life like a fine wine,
That has been burying deep roots.
God blesses those who fear the Lord,
As He blesses you from Zion;
When shown He is loved and adored,
With confidence like a lion.
May you see the prosperity,
Throughout all the days of your life;
Always giving through charity,
Persevere through trials and strife.
May you see your offspring mature,
Becoming fruitful with child;
As they grow in faith to be pure,
Never to become defiled.
