Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #223 (1786) First Line: Blest are the undefil'd in heart Lyrics: 1 Blest are the undefil'd in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean;
Who never from thy law depart,
But fly from every sin.
2 Blest are the men that keep thy word,
And practise thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek the 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 steady feet aside.
4 Then shall my heart have inward joy,
And keep my face from shame,
When all thy statutes I obey,
And honour all thy name.
5 But haughty sinners God will hate,
The proud shall die accurst;
The sons of falshood and deceit
Are trodden to the dust.
6 Vile as the dross the wicked are;
And those that leave thy ways
Shall see salvation from afar,
But never taste thy grace. Topics: Counsel and Support form God; Law of God Delight in in; Persecutors punished; Saints happy and Sinners cursed; Counsel and Support form God; Law of God Delight in in; Persecutors punished; Saints happy and Sinners cursed Scripture: Psalm 119:153 Languages: English
