Who in thy glorious temple, Lord, shall dwell

Verse 1

Who in thy glorious temple, Lord, shall dwell, And who shall rest upon thy holy hill?

Verse 2

E'en he, who holds simplicity of heart. And from thy righteous judgments dreads to part; Whose faithful tongue, indignant of a lie, Wounds not his neighbour's peace with calumny; Whose thoughts no mischief 'gainst a foe intend; Who vents no killing slander 'gainst a friend:

Verse 3

Who shuns the wicked, and detests their ways; But, honours him, that heav'ns high will obeys; Who'll to the indigent his help afford, And lose his int'rest, ere he'll break his word.

Verse 4

Who with a modest income is content, Nor takes reward against the innocent; By acts like these, who can his duty prove, Shall live for ever with his God above.
