A Psalm of Following the Lord

PSALM 1

What Joy is Mine


What joy is mine to follow you

To do your will is my delight

The sinners’ way I’ll not pursue

I think of you each day and night


Your laws are like the trees so green

They wither not nor faded away

Their fruit each season can be seen

They are my guide throughout the day


Be led not by each passing wind

Of Satan’s tempts that lead astray.

But with God’s help do them rescind

And find great joy in walking God’s way


O’er all our ways the Lord keeps watch

His love for us he does convey

He through his Son removes sin’s blotch

And to his home he points the way
