That man is blest who, fearing God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God, From sin restrains his feet, Who will not stand with wicked men, Who shuns the scorners' seat. 2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law His portion and delight, And meditates upon that law With gladness day and night. 3 That man is nourished like a tree Set by the rivers' side; Its leaf is green, its fruit is sure, And thus his works abide. 4 The wicked like the driven chaff Are swept from off the land; They shall not gather with the just, Nor in the judgment stand. 5 The Lord will guard the righteous well, Their way to him is known; The way of sinners, far from God, Shall surely be o'erthrown. Amen. Topics: Christian Life Obedience; Christians Blessedness of; Chiristian Holiness; Law of God Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: IRISH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

The depths of earth are in His hand, The heights of hills are His. 4 To Him the spacious sea belongs, For He the same did make; The dry land also from His hands Its form at first did take. 5 O come, and let us worship Him; Let us bow down withal, And on our knees before the Lord, Our Maker, let us fall.
