Blest are the undefil'd in heart

Appears in 83 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest are the undefil'd in heart, Whose ways are right and clean; Who never from thy law depart, But fly from every sin. 2 Blest are the men that keep thy word, And practise thy commands; With their whole heart they seek the Lord, And serve thee with their hands. 3 Great is their peace who love thy law; How firm their souls abide; Nor can a bold temptation draw Their steady feet aside. 4 Then shall my heart have inward joy, And keep my face from shame, When all thy statutes I obey, And honour all thy name. 5 But haughty sinners GOD will hate, The proud shall die accurst; The sons of falshood and deceit Are trodden to the dust. 6 Vile as the dross the wicked are; And those that leave thy ways Shall see salvation from afar, But never taste thy grace. Scripture: Psalm 119:1-3

Scripture: Psalm 119:57
