The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #1 (1740) Scripture: Psalm 1 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 gen'rous 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 Fruit 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 Amongst 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.

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #2 (1740) Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: The Man is ever blest Lyrics: 1 The Man is ever blest Who shuns the Sinners Ways, Among their Counsels 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 heav'nly 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 Judgement-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.

The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #3 (1740) Scripture: Psalm 1 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."
