Blessed Are All They (Psalm 1)
Nathan Clark George
Blessed are all they that shun
Sin's vain and wicked ways
For them has Christ salvation won
He loves them all their days
God's holy word is their delight
They prosper in its truth
In it, they dwell both day and night
To flourish and bear fruit
Firmly planted on the banks
Of God's great stream of grace
They raise unending praise and thanks
To his great, glorious face
The wicked ones, they are not so
But, driven by the winds
They fall and perish, weighed with woe
When once God's wrath begins
Blessed are all they that shun
Sin's vain and wicked ways
For them has Christ salvation won
He loves them all their days
In Jesus Christ's own righteousness
Though sinners fail and fall
His flock he will preserve and bless
Who on his favor call
