"How Are Thy Servants Blest, O Lord" is a Christian hymn with text written by English essayist Joseph Addison, first published in The Spectator in 1712. The music is by American hymnodist Thomas Hastings (1784-1872), a prominent figure in the development of American church music. This particular setting became a standard in English-language hymnals, notably appearing in the 1881 edition of The Hymnal of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The hymn reflects on divine protection and mercy through various trials and dangers.
