That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God, from sin restrains his feet, who will not stand with wicked men, who shuns the scorners' seat. 2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law his portion and delight, and meditates upon that law with gladness day and night. 3 That man is nourished like a tree set by the rivers' side; its leaf is green, its fruit is sure, and thus his works abide. 4 The wicked like the driven chaff are swept from off the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor in the judgment stand. 5 The LORD will guard the righteous well, their way to Him is known; the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.

Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 675 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe; his craft and pow'r are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing. You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; LORD Sabaoth His name, from age to age the same; and He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God has willed His truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him. 4 That Word above all earthly pow'rs no thanks to them abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours thro' Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still; His kingdom is forever. Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG
