About this Hymn
For the Trinity Psalter Hymnal (2018), published jointly by the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and the United Reformed Churches in North America, the committee crafted a new paraphrase of Psalm 1, designed to fit the tune for "In Christ Alone."
Lyrics
Verse 1
How blest the man who does not walk where wicked men would guide his feet, who stands not in the sinners' ways nor sits upon the scorners' seat. The law of God is his delight, his meditation day and night. The law of God is his delight, his meditation day and night.
Verse 2
For he is like a growing tree, which, planted by a flowing stream, in season yields its finest fruit; its leaves are always fresh and green. In all he does he finds success; prosperity will he possess. In all he does he finds success; prosperity will he possess.
Verse 3
Not so the wicked! Like the chaff, the wind will blow them all away. The judgment they will not withstand, nor sinners with the righteous stay. God knows the way of righteous ones; the wicked way will be undone. God knows the way of righteous ones; the wicked way will be undone.
