The Saint Happy, the Sinner Miserable

Verse 1

How truly blest are they who shun the sinners' ways, among their counsels never stand, nor take the scorners' place,

Verse 2

But make the law of God their study and delight amid the labors of the day and watches of the night.

Verse 3

He like a tree shall thrive with waters near the root. Fresh as the leaf their name shall live; their works are heav'nly fruit.

Verse 4

The wicked are not so! They no such blessing find. Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff before the driving wind.

Verse 5

How will they bear to stand before that judgment seat where all the saints at Christ's right hand in full assembly meet?

Verse 6

God knows and he approves the way the righteous go, but sinners and their works shall meet a dreadful overthrow.
