Blessed In the Lord- a Pantoum

Blessed is the man who trusts in Thee!
What bliss is his, what joy divine!
What comfort, what peace it is to see,
He hopes in Thee and is everlastingly Thine!

What bliss is his, what joy divine!
Thy Name alone is his strong tower,
He hopes in Thee and is everlastingly Thine,
Made righteous, he is safe in Thy power.

Thy Name alone is his strong tower,
What mercy great shall compass him about!
Made righteous, he is safe in Thy power,
In Thee, he is glad, with joy he does shout.

What mercy great shall compass him about!
What comfort, what peace it is to see,
In Thee, he is glad, with joy he does shout,
Blessed is the man who trusts in Thee!


{KJV BIBLE: 
Psalms 84:12- O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee.
Proverbs 18:10- The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Psalms 32:10,11- Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.}
