The Tree by Running Water | Psalm 1 | English Christian Devotional Hymn

The Tree by Running Water (Psalm 1) - a Catholic hymn meditating on the blessedness of the one who delights in the law of the Lord. From the scoffer's seat to the tree planted by running water, this hymn walks the path of Psalm 1: the happiness of the one who avoids the counsel of the wicked and instead meditates on God's law day and night, contrasted with the fate of the wicked who are like chaff the wind drives away. Key images: the tree by running water, rich in fruit and unfading leaves; the chaff scattered by the wind; the Lord who watches over the way of the just. Let us pray for grace to walk always in the way of the righteous, rooted in God's word. 0:00 Intro 0:14 Refrain - How blest the one 0:27 Verse 1 - The path of the righteous 0:48 Refrain 1:02 Verse 2 - A tree by running water 1:23 Refrain 1:38 Verse 3 - The day of judgment 1:59 Refrain 2:13 Verse 4 - The Lord keeps watch 2:34 Refrain 2:45 Doxology - Glory to the Father 3:09 Final Refrain (times are estimated) Lyrics: (Refrain) How blest the one who shuns the scoffer's seat And walks the path made level for his feet. (Verse 1) He does not heed the counsel of the proud, Nor stand where sinners linger on their way, Nor sit among the mockers' idle crowd, But keeps the law of God by night and day. (Verse 2) Within that law his gladness finds its root; He murmurs it in silence, dusk and dawn, A tree by running water, rich in fruit, Whose leaves stay green, whose strength from streams is drawn. (Verse 3) In all he does, his work shall bear its yield; Not so the wicked, never so their fate: Like chaff the wind sweeps off the threshing field, They will not stand when judgment sits in state. (Verse 4) The sinner has no place among the just When all are gathered at the Judge's call; The Lord keeps watch on those who walk in trust, The road of scorn will crumble, fade and fall. (Doxology) All glory to the Father, fount of light, And to the Son, whose Cross is Life's true Tree, And to the Spirit, river pure and bright, One God, one glory, blest in Persons Three.
