The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked; End of Righteous and Wicked First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place, Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer’s seat. 2 But in the statutes of the Lord, Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. 3 [He like a plant of generous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair Shall his profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. 5 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the Judge at his right-hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 1

The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked First Line: Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet Lyrics: 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, pondering o'er the Word. 3 He like a Plant by gentle Streams, Shall flourish in immortal Green; And Heav'n will shine with kindest Beams On every Work his Hands begin. 4 But Sinners find their Counsels crost; 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 different Place. 6 "Strait is the Way my Saints have trod, "I blessed the Path, and drew it plain; "But you would chuse the crooked Road; "And down it leads to endless Pain." Scripture: Psalm 1

The meanest portion of the just Excels the sinner's gold. 2 The wicked borrows of his friends, But ne'er designs to pay; The saint is merciful and lends, Nor turns the poor away. 3 His alms with liberal heart he gives Amongst the sons of need; His memory to long ages lives, And blessed is his seed. 4 His lips abhor to talk profane, To slander or defraud; His ready tongue declares to men What he has learn'd of God. 5 The law and gospel of the Lord Deep in his heart abide; Led by the spirit and the word His feet shall never slide. 6 When sinners fall, the righteous stand, Preserv'd from every snare; They shall possess the promis'd land, And dwell forever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16

Pause. 5 The haughty Sinner have I seen, Nor fearing Man nor God, Like a tall Bay-Tree fair and green, Spreading his Arms abroad. 6 And, lo! he vanish'd from the Ground, Destroy'd by Hands unseen; Nor Root, nor Branch, nor Leaf was found Where all that Pride had been. 7 But mark the Man of Righteousness, His sev'ral Steps attend; True Pleasure runs thro' all his Ways, And peaceful is his End. Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37

Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked First Line: Why should I vex my Soul, and fret Lyrics: 1 Why should I vex my Soul, and fret To see the Wicked rise? Or envy Sinners waxing great By Violence and Lies. 2 As flowery Grass cut down at Noon, Before the Evening fades, So shall their Glories vanish soon In everlasting Shades. 3 Then let me make the Lord my Trust, And practise all that's good; So shall I dwell among the Just, And he'll provide me Food. 4 I to my GOD my Ways commit, And chearful wait his Will; Thy Hand, which guides my doubtful Feet, Shall my Desires fulfil. 5 Mine Innocence shalt thou display, And make thy Judgments known, Fair as the Light of dawning Day, And glorious as the Noon. 6 The Meek at last the Earth possess, And are the Heirs of Heav'n; True Riches, with abundant Peace, To humble Souls are giv'n. Pause. 7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his Way, Nor let your Anger rise, Tho' Providence should long delay To punish haughty Vice. 8 Let Sinners join to break your Peace, And plot, and rage, and foam; The Lord derides them, for he sees Their Day of Vengeance come. 9 They have drawn out the threat'ning Sword, Have bent the murd'rous Bow, To slay the Men that fear the Lord, And bring the Righteous low. 10 My GOD shall break their Bows, and burn Their persecuting Darts, Shall their own Swords against them turn, And Pain surprize their Hearts. Scripture: Psalm 37:1-15

This Sodom felt, and feels it still, And roars beneath th' eternal load: "With endless burnings who can dwell? Or bear the fury of a God?" Tremble, ye sinners, and submit, Throw down your arms before his throne; Bend your heads low beneath his feet, Or his strong hand shall crush you down. And ye, blest saints, that love him too, With rev'rence bow before his name; Thus all his heav'nly servants do: God is a bright and burning flame. Scripture: Psalm 11

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 275 hymnals Topics: End of the righteous and wicked Lyrics: Behold the glories of the Lamb Amidst his Father's throne; Prepare new honors for his name, And songs before unknown. Let elders worship at his feet, The church adore around, With vials full of odors sweet, And harps of sweeter sound. Those are the prayers of the saints, And these the hymns they raise, Jesus is kind to our Complaints, He loves to hear our praise. [Eternal Father, who shall look Into thy secret will? Who but the Son shall take that book, And open every sea]? He shall fulfil thy great decrees, The Son deserves it well: Lo! in his hand the sovereign keys Of heav'n, and death, and hell!] Now to the Lamb that once was slain Be endless blessings paid; Salvation, glory, joy, remain For ever on thy head. Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood, Hast set the pris'ners free; Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with thee. The worlds of nature and of grace Are put beneath thy power; Then shorten these delaying days, And bring the promised hour. Scripture: Revelation 5:6-12

Ere the blue heavens were stretch'd abroad

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: End of the righteous and wicked Lyrics: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretched abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be adored. By his own power were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars: Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years? But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through his eyes the Godhead shone. Archangels leave their high abode To learn new mysteries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel. Scripture: Colossians 1:16

And heav'nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer's birth! [In worship so divine, Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial hosts we join, And loud repeat their songs: "Glory to God on high! And heav'nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At our Redeemer's birth!"] Scripture: Luke 2:10-19
