LyicsThe man is ever blest
Who shins the sinner's ways,
Amidst their counsels never stands,
Amidst their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place;
But makes the law of God
His study and delight
Throughout the labors of the day,
Throughout the labors of the day
And watches of the night.
He like a tree shall thrive
With waters near its root;
Fresh as a leaf his name shall live,
Fresh as a leaf his name shall live;
His works are heavenly fruit,
Not so th' ungodly: they
Shall no such blessing find;
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff,
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
