Cantus Christi ‎#2

2. Bless now the man who does not walk

1. Bless now the man who does not walk
In the ways of ungodly men,
Who does not stand in paths of sin
And will not sit where mockers talk.

2. His full delight is in the law;
On holy laws he meditates.
All day and night he contemplates
And holds the truth in revrent awe.

3. Planted deep by the riverside,
This tree brings forth the season’s fruit.
His leaf is nourished from the root;
Prosperity is full and wide.

4. Not so the wicked, who will die.
They are like chaff which blows away
And cannot stand on judgment day,
When He will lift the saints on high.

5. God knows the way of all His host;
The wicked die a godless death.
Praise Him, praise Him, those who have breath,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
