Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.1 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Happy saint and cursed sinner; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics:
Blest is the man who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer's seat:
But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
[He, like a plant of gen'rous kind,
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.]
Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.
Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Amongst the sons of grace,
When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand
Appoints his saints a place.
His eye beholds the path they tread,
His heart approves it well
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell.

Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.2 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Happy saint and cursed sinner; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy First Line: The man is ever blessed Lyrics:
The man is ever blessed
Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Among their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place;
But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.
He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live;
His works are heav'nly fruit.
Not so th' ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment-seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
He knows, and he approves,
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.

Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.3 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Happy saint and cursed sinner; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy First Line: Happy the man whose cautious feet Lyrics:
Happy the man whose cautious feet
Shun the broad way that sinners go,
Who hates the place where atheists meet,
And fears to talk as scoffers do.
He loves t' employ the morning light
Amongst the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure, pondering o'er his word.
He, like a plant by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green.
And heav'n will shine with kindest beams
On every work his hands begin.
But sinners find their counsels crossed:
As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.
In vain the rebel seeks to stand
In judgment with the pious race;
The dreadful Judge, with stern command,
Divides him to a diff'rent place.
"Straight is the way my saints have trod;
I blessed the path, and drew it plain;
But you would choose the crooked road,
And down it leads to endless pain."

Psalm 37 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.87 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Sinner and saint's portion; Portion of saints and sinners; Death of saints and sinners; Prosperous sinners cursed; Sinner hatred and saint's patience First Line: Why do the wealthy wicked boast Lyrics:
Why do the wealthy wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest portion of the just
Excels the sinner's gold.
The wicked borrows of his friends,
But ne'er designs to pay;
The saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the poor away.
His alms with lib'ral heart he gives
Amongst the sons of need;
His mem'ry to long ages lives,
And blessed is his seed.
His lips abhor to talk profane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready tongue declares to men
What he has learned of God.
The law and gospel of the Lord
Deep in his heart abide;
Led by the Spirit and the word,
His feet shall never slide.
When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land,
And dwell for ever there.

Psalm 37 Part 2
The practical Use of the Moral Law to the convinced Sinner
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #L (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sinner convinced First Line: Here, Lord, my soul convicted stands Lyrics: 1 Here, Lord, my soul convicted stands
Of breaking all thy ten commands:
And on me justly might'st thou pour
Thy wrath in one eternal show'r.
2 But thanks to God, its loud alarms
Have warn'd me of approaching harms:
And now, O Lord, my wants I see,
Lost and undone, I come to thee.
3 I know my fig-leaf righteousness
Can ne'er thy broken law redress:
Yet in thy gospel plan I see
There's hope of pardon e'en for me.
4 Here, I behold with wonder, Lord,
That Christ hath to thy law restor'd
Those honors of th' atoning day,
Which guilty sinners took away.
5 Amazing wisdom, power and love,
Display'd to rebels from above!
Do thou, O Lord, my faith increase
To love and trust thy plan of grace. Languages: English
The practical Use of the Moral Law to the convinced Sinner
The prodigal Son; or, the repenting Sinner accepted
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Repenting sinner accepted First Line: The mighty God will not despise Lyrics: 1 The mighty God will not despise
The contrite heart for sacrifice;
The deep-fetch'd sigh, the secret groan
Rises accepted to the throne.
2 He meets, with tokens of his grace,
The trembling lip, the blushing face;
His bowels yearn, when sinners pray,
And mercy bears their sins away.
3 When fill'd with grief, o'erwhelm'd with shame,
He, pitying, heals their broken frame;
He hears their sad complaints, and spies
His image in their weeping eyes.
4 Thus, what a rapturous joy possest
The tender parents throbbing breast,
To see his spendthrift son return,
And hear him his past follies mourn!

Psalm 37 Part 3
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.88 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Sinner and saint's portion; Portion of saints and sinners; Death of saints and sinners; Prosperous sinners cursed; Sinner hatred and saint's patience First Line: My God, the steps of pious men Lyrics:
My God, the steps of pious men
Are ordered by thy will;
Though they should fall, they rise again,
Thy hand supports them still.
The Lord delights to see their ways,
Their virtue he approves;
He'll ne'er deprive them of his grace,
Nor leave the men he loves.
The heav'nly heritage is theirs,
Their portion and their home;
He feeds them now, and makes them heirs
Of blessings long to come.
Wait on the Lord, ye sons of men,
Nor fear when tyrants frown;
Ye shall confess their pride was vain,
When justice casts them down.
The haughty sinner have I seen,
Nor fearing man nor God,
Like a tall bay-tree, fair and green,
Spreading his arms abroad.
And lo! he vanished from the ground,
Destroyed by hands unseen;
Nor root, nor branch, nor leaf was found
Where all that pride had been.
But mark the man of righteousness,
His several steps attend;
True pleasure runs through all his ways,
And peaceful is his end.
Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37 Languages: English
Psalm 37 Part 3
The Contrite heart
Author: Medley Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #LXX (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Sensible Sinner First Line: Lord, hear a burden'd sinner mourn Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear a burden'd sinner mourn,
Who gladly would to thee return;
Thy tender mercies O impart,
And take away this stony heart!
2 'Tis this hard heart which sinks me down,
Nor asks thy smile, nor fears thy frown;
This causes all my woe and smart,—
Lord, take away this stony heart!
3 'Tis this hard heart I feel within,
Which slights thy grace, and cleaves to sin,
Sure 'tis of hell the counterpart;
Lord, take away this stony heart.
4 'Tis this hard heart which day by day
Would shut my mouth, nor let me pray,
Yea, would from ev'ry duty start;
Lord, take away this stony heart!
5 Sure the bless'd day will shortly come,
When this hard heart shall know its doom,
When I no more shall sin retain,
Nor of a stony heart complain.
6 Yes, friendly death, with welcome stroke,
Will loose the chain— will break the yoke;
And, when arriv'd o glory's shore,
A stony heart be felt no more.

The Contrite heart
The sinner converted
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXCVIIb (1790) Topics: The Sinner Converted First Line: When with my mind divinely prest Lyrics: 1 When with my mind devoutly prest
Dear Saviour, my revolving breast
Wou'd past offences trace;
Trembling I make the black review,
Yet pleas'd behold admiring too,
The pow'r of changing grace.
2 This tongue with blasphemies defil'd,
These feet, to erring paths beguil'd,
In heav'nly league agree;
Who cou'd believe such lips cou'd praise,
Or think from dark and winding ways
Should ever lead to thee?
3 These eyes that once abus'd their sight,
Now lift to thee their wat'ry light,
And weep a silent flood;
These hands are rais'd in ceaseless pray'r;
O wash away the stains they wear,
In pure redeeming blood!
4 These ears, that pleas'd cou'd entertain
The midnight oath, the lustful strain,
When round the festal board;
Now deaf to all th' inchanting noise,
Avoid the throng, detest the joys,
And long to hear thy word.
5 Thus art thou serv'd in ev'ry part;
And now thou dost transform my heart,
That drossy thing refine:
That grace may nature's strength controul,
And a new creature — body — soul,
Are, LORD, for ever thine! Languages: English

The midnight oath, the lustful strain,
