The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: Psalms #1c (1793) 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 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 Heav'n 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 the path, and drew it plain; "But you would choose the crooked road; :And down it leads to endless pain."
