Hymnal: The Book of Worship #376 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Book of Worship Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest
Who shuns the sinners' ways;
Among their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorners' place.
2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf, His name shall live;
His works are heavenly fruit.
4 Not so th' ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How shall they bear to stand
Before the judgment-seat
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and He approves
The way the righteous go:
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overflow. Topics: Man a Saint Blessedness of the Righteous Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
