Blest Are the Undefiled in Heart

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.
