The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable

Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Punishment of Sinners; Saints happy and Sinners cursed; Punishment of Sinners; Saints happy and Sinners cursed First Line: The man is ever blest Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest, Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their councils never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labours of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungoldy race, They no such blessings find: Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and he approves The ways the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1

The rich sinner's Death, and the Saint's Resurrection

Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Death of saints and sinners; Prosperous sinners cursed; Death of saints and sinners; Prosperous sinners cursed First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics: 1 Why do the proud insult the poor, And boast the large estates they have! How vain are riches to secure Their haughty owners from the grave! 2 They can’t redeem one hour from death With all the wealth in which they trust; Nor give a dying brother breath, When God commands him down to dust. 3 There the dark earth and dismal shade Shall clasp their naked bodies round; That flesh so delicately fed Lies cold, and moulders in the ground. 4 Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies, And leaves his glories in the tomb; The saints shall in the morning rise, And find th’ oppressor's awful doom. 5 His honours perish in the dust, And pomp and beauty, birth and blood; That glorious day exalts the just To full dominion o’er the proud. 6 My Saviour shall my life restore, And raise me from my dark abode; My flesh and soul shall part no more, But dwell forever near my God. Scripture: Psalm 49

Pause. 5 The haughty sinner have I seen Nor fearing man nor God, Like a tall bay-tree, fair and green, Spreading his arms abroad: 6 And lo, he vanish'd from the ground, Destroy'd 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 thro' all his ways, And peaceful is his end. Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37

The meanest portion of the just Excels the sinner's gold. 2 The wicked borrows of his friends, But ne'er designs to pay; The saint is merciful and lends, Nor turns the poor away. 3 His alms with liberal heart he gives Amongst the sons of need; His memory to long ages lives, And blessed is his seed. 4 His lips abhor to talk profane, To slander or defraud; His ready tongue declares to men What he has learn'd of God. 5 The law and gospel of the Lord Deep in his heart abide; Led by the spirit and the word His feet shall never slide. 6 When sinners fall, the righteous stand, Preserv'd from every snare; They shall possess the promis'd land, And dwell forever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:26-31

Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among 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

Scripture: Psalm 119:153

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Sinners In the wreck of nature First Line: How great, how terrible that God Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God, Who shakes creation with his nod! He frowns--earth, sea, all nature's frame Sink in one universal flame. 2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek For shelter in the general wreck; Shall falling rocks be o'er them thrown? See rocks, like snow dissolving down. 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tost, For ever--O forever lost! 4 But saints, undaunted and serene, With calmness view the dreadful scene; Their Saviour lives, the worlds expire, And earth and skies dissolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless creature's friend, To thee my all I dare commend; thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When lightnings blaze from pole to pole. Scripture: Isaiah 24:18-20
