How blest is he, who ne'er consents

Hymnal: SoP1792 #P.I (1792) Scripture: Psalm 1:1-3 Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents By ill advice to walk; Nor stands in sinner's ways, nor sits Where men profanely talk; But makes the perfect law of God His bus'ness and delight; Devoutly reads therein by day, And meditates by night. 2 Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams, With timely fruit does bend, He still shall flourish, and success All his designs attend. For God approves the just man's ways; To happiness they tend: But sinners, and the paths they tread, Shall both in ruin end. Languages: English

Lord, who's the happy man that may
