PSALMS.

( PSALM 1.)

C. M.

The Saint and the Sinner.

BLEST is the man who shuns the place

Where sinners

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.

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

4 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm.

WATTS,

5 Sinners, in judgment, shall not stand Among the sons of grace,

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

6 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.
