The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable

Appears in 117 hymnals First Line: The man is ever blest Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest, Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their councils 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 heavenly 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 judgment 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

Appears in 51 hymnals First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious feet Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose cautious feet Shun the broad way where 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 Heaven 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'd the path, and drew it plain; "But you would chuse the crooked road; "And down it leads to endless pain.

Christ's Death, Resurrection, and Ascension

Appears in 20 hymnals First Line: Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? Lyrics: 1 Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? The Romans, why their swords employ? Against the Lord their powers engage, His dear Anointed to destroy? 2 "Come, let us break his bands, they say, "This man shall never give us laws;" And thus they cast his yoke away, And nail'd the Monarch to the cross. 3 But God, who high in glory reigns, Laughs at their pride, their rage controuls; He'll smite their hearts with inward pains, And speak in thunder to their souls. 4 "I will maintain the King I made "On Zion's everlasting hill, "My hand shall bring him from the dead, "And he shall stand your sovereign still. 5 [His wondrous rising from the earth Makes his eternal Godhead known; The Lord declares his heavenly birth: "This day have I begot my Son. 6 "Ascend, my Son, to my right-hand, "There thou shall ask, and I bestow "The utmost bounds of heathen lands; "To thee their suppliant tribes shall bow."] 7 But nations that resist his grace Shall fall beneath his lifted rod; His arm shall crush the impious race, That dares provoke th' avenging God. Pause. 8 Now ye that sit on earthly thrones, Be wise, and serve the Lord, the Lamb: Now to his feet submit your crowns, Rejoice and tremble at his name. 9 With humble love address the Son, Lest he grow angry, and ye die; His wrath will burn to worlds unknown, His love gives life above the sky. 10 His storms shall quell the stuborn foe, And sink his honours in the dust: Happy the souls, their God that know, And make his grace their only trust.

Life, love and joy still gliding through And watering our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, thine holy word, Supports our faith, our fear controuls, Sweet peace thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Sion enjoys her Monarch’s Love, Secure against a threatening hour; Nor can her firm foundation move, Built on his truth, and arm'd with power.
