The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7659

7659. Who Shall Inhabit in Thy Hill?

1. Who shall inhabit in Thy hill,
O God of holiness?
Whom will the Lord admit to dwell
So near His throne of grace?

2. The man that walks in pious ways,
And works with righteous hands;
That trusts his maker’s promises,
And follows His commands.

3. He speaks the meaning of his heart,
Nor slanders with his tongue;
Will scarce believe an ill report,
Nor do his neighbor wrong.

4. The wealthy sinner he contemns,
Loves all that fear the Lord;
And though to his own hurt he swears,
Still he performs his word.

5. His hands disdain a golden bribe,
And never gripe the poor:
This man shall dwell with God on earth,
And find his Heav’n secure.
