Bennett Mintern Swaffield - How blest is he who ne'er consents - текст песни (слова)

How blest is he who ne'er consents
 By ill advice to walk;
 Nor stands in sinners' ways, nor sits
 Where men profanely talk:
 
 But makes the perfect law of God
 His business and delight;
 Devoutly reads therein by day,
 And meditates by night.
 
 For God approves the just man's ways,
 To happiness they tend;
 But sinners, and the paths they tread,
 Shall both in ruin end.
