How Blest the Man

Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 5 #35 (1902) First Line: How blest the man that doth not stray Lyrics: 1 How blest the man that doth not stray Where wicked counsel tempts his feet; Who stands not in the sinner’s way, And sits not in the scorner’s seat, But in God’s law he takes delight, And meditates both day and night. 2 He shall be like the tree that springs Where streams of water gently glide; Which plenteous fruit in season brings, And ever green its leaves abide; Thus shall prosperity attend The good man’s work till life shall end. 3 Not so ungodly men, for they Like chaff before the wind are driv’n; Hence they’ll not stand in judgment day, Nor mingle with the saints in heav’n; The Lord approves the good man’s path, But sinner’s ways shall end in wrath.
