Text: | That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | ST. AGNES |
Composer: | John B. Dykes |
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 river's 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.
