The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #7 (1786) Topics: Punishment of Sinners; Punishment of Sinners 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 Languages: English

The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable

Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Among their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place:
2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labours of the day,
And watches of the night.
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live,
His works are heavenly fruit.
4 Not so th' ungoldy race,
They no such blessings find:
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and he approves
The ways the righteous go:
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #9a (1786) Topics: Punishment of Sinners; Punishment of Sinners First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious feet Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose cautious feet
Shun the broad way where sinners go,
Who hates the place where Atheists meet,
And fears to talk as scoffers do.
2 He loves t' employ his morning light
Among the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure pond'ring o'er the word.
3 He, like a plant by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green;
And Heaven will shine with kindest beams,
On every 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 different place.
6 "Strait is the way my saints have trod,
"I bless'd the path, and drew it plain;
"But you would chuse the crooked road;
"And down it leads to endless pain. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

Psalm 146
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #21 (1890) Topics: Future Punishment; Future Punishment First Line: I'll praise my Maker with my breath Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker with my breath,
And, when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler powers:
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.
2 Happy the man, whose hopes rely
On Israel's God; he made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train:
His truth for ever stands secure;
He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor;
And none shall find his promise vain.
3 He loves his saints he knows them well,
But turns the wicked down to hell;
Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns;
Let every tongue, let every age,
In this exalted work engage:
Praise him in everlasting strains.
4 I'll praise him while he lends me breath,
And, when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler powers:
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.

Psalm 146
God loves the righteous, and hates the wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #21 (1786) Topics: Punishment of Sinners; Punishment of Sinners First Line: My refuge is the God of love Lyrics: 1 My refuge is the God of love;
Why do my foes insult and cry,
Fly like a timorous trembling dove,
To distant woods or mountains fly?
2 If government be once destroy'd,
(That firm foundation of our peace)
And violence make justice void,
Where shall the righteous seek redress?
3 The Lord in heaven has fix'd his throne,
His eye surveys the world below;
To him all mortal things are known;
His eye-lids search our spirits through.
4 If he afflicts his saints so far,
To prove their love, and try their grace,
What may the bold transgressors fear?
His very soul abhors their wicked ways.
5 On impious wretches he shall rain
Sulphureous flames of wasting death,
Such as he kindled on the plain
Of Sodom, with his angry breath.
6 The righteous Lord loves righteous souls,
Whose thoughts and actions are sincere,
And with a gracious eye beholds
The men that his own image bear. Scripture: Psalm 11 Languages: English
