And well and happy shalt thou be.

And well and happy shalt thou be.
2 Lo! to the man these blessings cleave
Who in God’s holy fear doth live;
From him the ancient curse hath fled
By Adam’s race inherited.
Who in God’s holy fear doth live;

3 Out of Mount Zion God shall send,
And crown with joy thy latter end,
That thou Jerusalem mayst see
In favor and prosperity.
And crown with joy thy latter end,

And give thee health and strength of days;
Yea, thou shalt children’s children see,
And peace on Israel shall be.
