The Righteous and the Wicked.

Ralston.

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 Who loves t' employ his morning light
Among the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure pondering o'er the word.

f> 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.

AVA VA

1

4 But sinners find their counsels crossed ;-
As chaff before the tempest flies,

So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.

SECOND PART. C. M.

Dedham.

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.

mf 3 He, like a plant of generous kind,
By living waters set,

Safe from the storm and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.

mf 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine;
While fruits of holiness appear,
Like clusters on the vine.

P 5 Not so the impious and unjust :-
What vain designs they form!

< mf

1

Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff, before the storm.

6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Among the sons of grace

When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand
Appoints his saints a place.

THIRD PART. S. M. Bladenburg.

1 THE man is ever blest,

Who shuns the sinner's 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 labors of the day,
And watches of the night.

mf 3 He, like a tree, shall thrive,

P

VA

1

With waters near the root;

Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live;
His works are heavenly fruit.

4 Not so th' ungodly race;

They no such blessings find:

Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.

FOURTH PART. 7's.

1 OH how blest the man, whose ear
Impious counsel shuns to hear;
Who nor loves nor treads the way,
Where the sons of folly stray:—
2 But, impressed with sacred awe,
Meditates, great God, thy law:
This by day his fixed employ,
This by night his constant joy.

Norwich.
