205. Blest are the undefiled in heart

1 Blest are the undefiled in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean;
Who never from thy law depart,
But fly from every sin.

2 Blest are the men who keep thy word,
And practice thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek thee, Lord,
And serve thee with their hands.

3 Great is their peace who love thy law;
How firm their souls abide!
Nor can a bold temptation draw
Their steadfast feet aside.
