24b. Characters of a Saint; or, a Citizen of Zion; or, The Qualifications of a Christian

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 Neighbour Wrong.

4 The wealthy Sinner he contemns,
Loves all that fear the Lord;
And tho' 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.
