Blest Is the Man Who Shuns the Place (EN 416)

EN 416 Blest Is the Man Who Shuns the Place

Ps.1.1

Versi Version 1

1

Blest is the man who shuns the place

Where sinners love to meet;

Who fears to tread their wicked ways,

And hates the scoffer’s seat.

2

But in the statutes of the Lord

Has placed his chief delight;

By day he reads or hears the Word,

And meditates by night.

3

He, like a plant of generous kind,

By living waters set,

Safe from the storms and blasting wind,

Enjoys a peaceful state.

4

Green as the leaf, and ever fair,

Shall his profession shine;

While fruits of holiness appear

Like clusters on the vine.

5

Not so the impious and unjust;

What vain designs they form!

Their hopes are blown away like dust,

Or chaff before the storm.

6

Sinners in judgment shall not stand

Amongst 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.
