The Man Is Ever Bless’d
VERSE 1
The man is ever bless’d
Who shuns the sinners’ ways,
Among their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner’s place;
VERSE 2
But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.
VERSE 3
He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live;
His works are heav’nly fruit.
VERSE 4
Not so th’ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
VERSE 5
How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment seat,
Where all the saints, at Christ’s right hand,
In full assembly meet!
VERSE 6
He knows, and He approves
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.
