The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #1 (1740) Topics: Meditation First Line: Blest is the Man who shuns the Place 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 Fruit 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 Amongst 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. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
