Lyrics
HOOK — UNISON (SUNG)
He is in the way of life
that keepeth instruction
but he that refuseth reproof
erreth
VERSE 1 — M→F BLEND (SUNG)
(M) He is in the way of life
that keepeth instruction
but he that refuseth reproof
erreth
He that hideth hatred
with lying lips
(F) and he that uttereth
a slander
is a fool
In the multitude of words
there wanteth not sin
but he that refraineth
his lips
is wise
HOOK — UNISON (SUNG)
The tongue of the just
is as choice silver
the heart of the wicked
is little worth
VERSE 2 — M→F BLEND (SUNG)
(M) The tongue of the just
is as choice silver
the heart of the wicked
is little worth
The lips of the righteous
feed many
(F) but fools die
for want of wisdom
The blessing of the Lord
it maketh rich
and he addeth
no sorrow with it
HOOK — UNISON (SUNG)
The desire of the righteous
shall be granted
As the whirlwind passeth
so is the wicked
no more
VERSE 3 — M→F BLEND (SUNG)
(M) It is as sport
to a fool
to do mischief
but a man of understanding
hath wisdom
The fear of the wicked
it shall come upon him
(F) but the desire
of the righteous
shall be granted
As the whirlwind passeth
so is the wicked
no more
but the righteous is
an everlasting foundation
HOOK — UNISON (SUNG)
The fear of the Lord
prolongeth days
but the years of the wicked
shall be shortened
VERSE 4 — M→F BLEND (SUNG)
(M) As vinegar to the teeth
and as smoke to the eyes
so is the sluggard
to them that send him
The fear of the Lord
prolongeth days
(F) but the years
of the wicked
shall be shortened
The hope of the righteous
shall be gladness
but the expectation
of the wicked
shall perish
HOOK — UNISON (SUNG)
The righteous shall never
be removed
the mouth of the just
bringeth forth wisdom
VERSE 5 — M→F BLEND (SUNG)
(M) The way of the Lord
is strength
to the upright
but destruction shall be
to the workers
of iniquity
The righteous shall never
be removed
(F) but the wicked shall not
inhabit the earth
The mouth of the just
bringeth forth wisdom
but the froward tongue
shall be cut out
The lips of the righteous
know what is acceptable
but the mouth of the wicked
speaketh frowardness
FINAL HOOK — UNISON (SUNG)
The lips of the righteous
know what is acceptable
but the mouth of the wicked
speaketh frowardness
