Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P1c (1766) 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
Amongst 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 every 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 different Place.
6 "Strait is the Way my Saints have trod,
"I blessed the Path, and drew it plain;
"But you would chuse the crooked Road;
"And down it leads to endless Pain."

Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
How blest is he who ne'er consents
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #3 (1754) Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents
by ill Advice to walk;
Nor stands in Sinners Ways; nor sits
where Men profanely talk!
2 But makes the perfect Law of God
his Bus'ness and Delight;
Devoutly reads therein by Day,
and meditates by Night.
3 Like some fair Tree, which, fed by Streams,
with timely Fruit does bend,
He still shall flourish, and Success
all his Designs attend.
4 Ungodly Men, and their Attempts,
no lasting Root shall find;
Untimely blasted, and dispers'd,
like Chaff before the Wind.
5 Their Guilt shall strike the Wicked dumb
before the Judge's Face:
No formal Hypocrite shall then
among the Saints have Place.
6 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
How blest is he who ne'er consents

Amongst the Statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful Hours of Night,
With Pleasure, pondering 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 every 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.
