The Good Man's Steps Are Led Aright

Verse 1

The good man's steps are led aright, His way is pleasing in God's sight, Established it shall stand; He shall not perish though he fall, The mighty LORD Who rules o'er all Upholds him with His hand.

Verse 2

Though I am old who young have been, No saint have I forsaken seen, Nor yet his home in need; He ever lends in gracious ways, His life true charity displays, His sons are bless'd indeed.

Verse 3

Depart from evil, do thou well, And evermore securely dwell; Jehovah loves the right. His faithfulness His saints have proved, Forever they shall stand unmoved, But sinners God will smite.

Verse 4

The righteous, through His favoring hand, Shall yet inherit all the land And dwell therein for days; He talks of wisdom and of right, In God's pure law is his delight, His steps go not astray.
