The way and end of the righteous and the wicked

Hymnal: PDIL1818 #Ia (1780) 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 placed 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 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 judgement 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.

The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable

Hymnal: PDIL1818 #Ib (1780) 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 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 his name shall live; His works are heav'nly fruit. 4 Not so the 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: PDIL1818 #Ic (1780) 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 pond'ring o'er his word. 3 He like a plant by gentle streams Shall flourish in immortal green; And heaven will shine with kindest beams On ev'ry 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 diff'rent place. 6 "Strait is the way my saints have trod, "I blest the path and drew it plain; "But you would choose the crooked road, "And down it leads to endless pain."
