EN 417 Happy the Man Whose Cautious Feet

Ps.1.1

Versi Version 1

1

Happy the man whose cautious feet

Shun the broad way that sinners go,

Who hates the place where atheists meet,

And fears to talk as scoffers do.

2

He loves t’employ the morning light

Amongst the statutes of the Lord;

And spends the wakeful hours of night,

With pleasure, pond’ring o’er His Word.

3

He, like a plant by gentle streams,

Shall flourish in immortal green;

And Heav’n will shine with kindest beams

On ev’ry work his hands begin.

4

But sinners find their counsels cross’d:

As chaff before the tempest flies,

So shall their hopes be blown and lost,

When the last trumpet shakes the skies.

5

In vain the rebel seeks to stand

In judgment with the pious race;

The dreadful Judge, with stern command,

Divides him to a diff’rent place.

6

“Straight is the way My saints have trod;

I bless’d the path, and drew it plain;

But you would choose the crooked road,

And down it leads to endless pain.”
