How blest is he who ne'er consents by Stephen Jarvis — Lyrics
;Clementine Vulgate
Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit;
sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.
Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: et folium ejus non defluet; et omnia quaecumque faciet prosperabuntur.

About How blest is he who ne'er consents
Stephen Jarvis’s How blest is he who ne'er consents unfolds with a serene, hymn-like character, setting a text from Psalm 1. The choir is SATB. The composer crafts a flowing musical setting that reflects the contemplative nature of the Latin verses, which are also presented in an English translation. The piece draws on the rich tradition of sacred music, exploring the contrast between the righteous, whose delight is in God's law, and the wicked. The setting for voices alone is appropriate for services or concerts, offering a moment of reflection on spiritual steadfastness and the blessing of living according to divine precepts. The music conveys a sense of peace and assurance.
