Psalms and Hymns to the Living God 101. Of justice and of grace I sing

Psalms and Hymns to the Living God‎#101

1 Of justice and of grace I sing,
and pay my GOD my vows;
Thy grace and justice, heav'nly King,
teach me to rule my house.

2 Now to my tent, O GOD, repair,
and make Thy servant wise;
I'll suffer nothing near me there
that shall offend Thine eyes.

3 The man that doth his neighbor wrong
by falsehood or by force,
the scornful eye, the sland'rous tongue,
I'll thrust them from my doors.

4 I'll seek the faithful and the just,
and will their help enjoy;
these are the friends that I shall trust,
the servants I'll employ.

5 The wretch that deals in sly deceit,
I'll not endure a night;
the liar's tongue I ever hate,
and banish from my sight.

6 I'll purge my family around,
and make the wicked flee;
so shall my house be ever found
a dwelling fit for Thee.
