Bless’d is the man who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet:
Who fears to walk in wicked ways,
And dread the scorner’s seat.
The word of God is his delight:
There all his thoughts abide;
His solace through the glooms of night,
By day his constant guide.
As some fair tree, whose roots are spread
Where living streams abound,
Lifts up on high its verdant head,
With fruitful clusters crowned;
So shall the tress of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord,
Fed by continual streams of grace,
Their timely fruit afford.
But sinners—they are driven away
like chaff before the wind;
They stand not in the judgement day,
Nor slighted mercy find.
With favour God his saints discerns
And crowns with endless days:
But sinners to destruction turn;—
They perish in their ways.
