Blest is the man, who fears and flies,
The broad and downward way,
Where impious scorn its God defies,
And vice allures to slay.
Blest, who in God’s unerring law
Finds guidance and delight;
Walks by his word with daily awe,
And ponders it by night.
Like trees with water at their root
The heirs of glory rise;
Their boughs are hung with holy fruit,
Their verdure never dies.
Beneath the wings of heavenly love
On earth they safely dwell;
And soar to endless joys above
When sinners sink to hell.
