Analysis of The Redeemed
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Blessed is the man that learns from the Lord
He strengthens his spirit and stays in His Word
He takes up the cause of the poor and the needy
His feet are not swift and his ways are not greedy
He draws out the man who falls in a pit
Who grumbles in darkness and curses and spits
He knows that by these his praise is from God
And Jesus can save him and spare him the rod
