Men Who Walk in Folly’s Way

lyricist: From Psalm 107
Composer: Charles Gounod, 1872

Men who walk in fol­ly’s way

And to ev­il turn aside

Find that sor­row will re­pay

Those who wis­dom’s laws have de­fied;

Down to death’s dark por­tals led

They ab­hor their dai­ly bread.

To Je­ho­vah then they cry

In their trou­ble and He saves

Sends com­pas­sion­ate re­ply

Gives the health their spir­it craves

Rescues them with gra­cious aid

From the snares their fol­ly led.

Sons of men

awake to praise

God the Lord who reigns above

Gracious in His works and ways

Wondrous in re­deem­ing love;

Let them all thank-of­fer­ings bring

Celebrate His deeds

and sing.
