Blest are the undefiled in heart, Whose ways are right and clean; Who never from Thy law depart, But fly from every sin. Blest are the men that keep Thy Word, And practice Thy commands; With their whole heart they seek the Lord, And serve thee with their hands. Great is their peace who love Thy law; How firm their souls abide! Nor can a bold temptation draw Their steady feet aside. Then shall my heart have inward joy, And keep my face from shame, When all Thy statutes I obey, And honor all Thy Name. But haughty sinners God will hate, The proud shall die accursed; The sons of falsehood and deceit Are trodden to the dust. Vile as the dross the wicked are; And those that leave Thy ways Shall see salvation from afar, But never taste Thy grace. |
