My God, the Steps of Pious Men

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4417 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. My God, the steps of pious men Are ordered by Thy will; Though they should fall, they rise again, Thy hand supports them still. 2. The Lord delights to see their ways, Their virtue He approves; He’ll ne’er deprive them of His grace, Nor leave the men He loves. 3. The heav’nly heritage is theirs, Their portion and their home; He feeds them now, and makes them heirs Of blessings long to come. 4. Wait on the Lord, ye sons of men, Nor fear when tyrants frown; Ye shall confess their pride was vain, When justice casts them down. 5. The haughty sinners have I seen, Nor fearing man, nor God, Like a tall bay-tree, fair and green, Spreading his arms abroad. 6. And lo! he vanished from the ground, Destroyed by hands unseen; Nor root, nor branch, nor leaf was found Where all that pride had been. 7. But mark the man of righteousness, His several steps attend; True pleasure runs through all his ways, And peaceful is his end. Languages: English Tune Title: ARMENIA
