An Ideal Worshiper

Verse 1

Who, O Lord, shall dwell with Thee In the temple of Thy grace? Who Thy constant guest shall be In Thy high and holy place?

Verse 2

He who walks in righteousness, All his actions just and clear; He whose words the truth express, Spoken from a heart sincere.

Verse 3

He to whom does not belong Tongue of malice or deceit, Who will not his neighbor wrong, Nor a slanderous tale repeat.

Verse 4

Who the wicked man will spurn, Honor those that fear the Lord; Nor will from his promise turn Though but loss be his reward.

Verse 5

Who no usury will claim, Nor with bribes pollute his hand; He who thus his life shall frame Shall unmoved forever stand.
