Today’s hymn is a rewording of Psalm 1. It’s by an unknown author, but I have found a modern retune, posted below. Enjoy reading this Psalm today!
Blest is he who loves God’s precepts,
Who from sin restrains his feet,
He who will not stand with sinners,
He who shuns the scorners’ seat.
Blest is he who makes the statutes
Of the Lord his chief delight,
In the law of God rejoicing,
Meditating day and night.
He is like a tree well planted
By the flowing river’s side,
Ever green of leaf and fruitful –
Thus shall all his works abide.
Like the driven chaff the wicked
Shall be swept from off the land;
With the just they shall not gather,
Nor shall in the judgement stand.
Well the Lord will guard the righteous,
For their way to Him is known;
But the way of evildoers
Shall by Him be overthrown.
