That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God,
from sin restrains his feet,
who will not stand with wicked men,
who shuns the scorners' seat.
2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law
his portion and delight,
and meditates upon that law
with gladness day and night.
3 That man is nourished like a tree
set by the rivers' side;
its leaf is green, its fruit is sure,
and thus his works abide.
4 The wicked like the driven chaff
are swept from off the land;
they shall not gather with the just,
nor in the judgment stand.
5 The LORD will guard the righteous well,
their way to Him is known;
the way of sinners, far from God,
shall surely be o'erthrown.

That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God
O LORD, Our Lord, in All the Earth
Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8 Lyrics: 1 O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth,
how excellent Thy name!
Thy glory Thou hast spread afar
in all the starry frame.
2 From lips of children, Thou, O LORD
hast mighty strength ordained,
that adversaries should be stilled
and vengeful foes restrained.
3 When I regard the wondrous heav'ns,
Thy handiwork on high,
the moon and stars ordained by Thee,
"O what is man?" I cry.
4 O what is man, in Thy regard
to hold so large a place,
and what the son of man, that Thou
dost visit him in grace.
5 On man Thy wisdom hath bestowed
a pow'r well nigh divine;
with honor Thou hast crowned his head
with glory like to Thine.
6 Thou hast subjected all to him,
and lord of all is he,
of flocks and herds, and beasts and birds,
and all within the sea.
7 Thy mighty works and wondrous grace
Thy glory, LORD, proclaim,
O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth,
How excellent Thy Name. Topics: Revelation and Adoration Used With Tune: CLINTON Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

The Spacious Heavens Declare
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19 First Line: The spacious heav'ns declare Lyrics: 1 The spacious heav'ns declare
the glory of our God,
the firmament displays
His handiwork abroad;
day unto day proclaims His might,
and night His wisdom tells to night.
2 Aloud they do not speak,
they utter forth no word,
nor into language break -
their voice is never heard;
yet through the world the truth they bear
and their Creator's pow'r declare.
3 The clouds of heav'n are spread,
a tent to hold the sun,
and like a bridegroom fair
comes forth the mighty one,
rejoicing in his strength and grace
to run his wondrous daily race.
4 His daily going forth
is from the end of heav'n;
the firmament to him
is for his circuit giv'n;
his journey reaches to its ends,
and ev'rywhere his heat extends. Topics: Revelation and Adoration Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

John Goss
1800 - 1880 Scripture: Psalm 19 Hymnal Number: 49 Composer of "ARTHUR'S SEAT" in Hymns to the Living God John Goss (b. Fareham, Hampshire, England, 1800; d. London, England, 1880). As a boy Goss was a chorister at the Chapel Royal and later sang in the opera chorus of the Covent Garden Theater. He was a professor of music at the Royal Academy of Music (1827-1874) and organist of St. Paul Cathedral, London (1838-1872); in both positions he exerted significant influence on the reform of British cathedral music. Goss published Parochial Psalmody (1826) and Chants, Ancient and Modern (1841); he edited William Mercer's Church Psalter and Hymn Book (1854). With James Turle he published a two-volume collection of anthems and Anglican service music (1854).

U. C. Burnap
1834 - 1900 Scripture: Psalm 19 Hymnal Number: 49 Arranger of "ARTHUR'S SEAT" in Hymns to the Living God Burnap ran a dry goods business in Brooklyn, though he graduated from the University of Paris with a music degree, and for 37 years played the organ at the Reformed Church in Brooklyn Heights. He was a prolific composer, and helped edit the following:
Hymns of the Church, 1869
Hymns of Prayer and Praise, 1871
Hymns and Songs of Praise, 1874
--The Cyber Hymnal™
There is uncertainty about his middle name. Reynolds and the Library of Congress say it was Christopher. A contemporary obituary relied on by "The Cyber Hymnal™" says it was Cicero. It appears that there was another Uzziah C[icero] Burnap who lived (per LOC) 1794-1854.
