Text:Blest are the undefiled in heart
Author:Isaac Watts
Tune:HENRY
Composer:Sylvanus B. Pond

445. Blest are the undefiled in heart

1 Blest are the undefiled in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean,
Who never from Thy law depart,
But fly from every sin.

2 Blest are the men that keep Thy word
And practice Thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek Thee, Lord,
And serve Thee with their hands.

3 Great is their peace who love Thy law;
How firm their souls abide!
Nor can a bold temptation draw
Their steady feet aside.

4 Then shall my heart have inward joy,
And keep my face from shame,
When all Thy statutes I obey,
And honor all Thy name.

Amen.
