Blest is the man who shuns the place
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 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:
2 But in the statutes of the Lord
Has plac'd his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
3 [He, like a plant of gen'rous kind,
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.]
4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine,,
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
5 Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.
6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Among the sons of grace,
When Christ, the judge, at his right hand,
Appoints his saints a place.
7 His eye beholds the path they tread;
His heart approves it well:
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell.
Blest is the man who shuns the place
The man is ever blest
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest
Who shuns the sinner's ways,
Amongst their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's 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 heav'nly fruit.
4 Not so th' ungoldy race,
They no such blessings find:
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and he approves
The ways the righteous go:
But sinners, and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.
The man is ever blest
Happy the man whose cautious feet
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 He loves t' employ his morning light
Among the statutes of the Lord,
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure pond'ring o'er the word.
3 He, like a plant by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green:
And Heav'n will shine with kindest beams
On ev'ry work his hands begin.
4 But sinners find their counsels crost;
As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.
5 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.
6 'Strait is the Way my saints have trod,
'I blest the path, and drew it plain:
'But you would choose the crooked road,
'And down it leads to endless pain.'
