How Truly Blest Are They

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Blessing Lyrics: 1 How truly blest are they who shun the sinners' ways, among their counsels never stand, nor take the scorners' place, 2 But make the law of God their study and delight amid the labors of the day and watches of the night. 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. 4 The wicked are not so! They no such blessing 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 God knows and he approves the way the righteous go, but sinners and their works shall meet a dreadful overthrow.
