Zion's Harp ‎#32

32. Lord, who liveth in Thy dwelling?

1 Lord, who liveth in Thy dwelling?
Who stays on Thy mountain high?
He who in the truth abideth,
Stays afar from every lie;
And with all his heart is striving,
Seeking truth, all good reviving;
He will in the church abide,
And in Salem’s hall reside.

2 Lord, who liveth in Thy dwelling?
Who stays on Thy holy hill?
He who keeps his tongue from sinning,
Helps his neighbor, cheerful still.
He who nothing harmful preaches,
Only what God fearing teaches;
He will in the church abide,
And in Salam’s hall reside.

3 Lord, who liveth in Thy dwelling?
Who stays on Thy holy hill?
He who does not heed the godless,
Shunneth falsehood with a will,
Doth not practice fraud nor swearing,
Right and innocence upholding;
He will in the church abide,
And in Salam’s hall reside.

4 Lord, who liveth in Thy dwelling?
Who stays on Thy holy hill?
He whose hands are clean and spotless,
And whose heart is free from ill,
Keeps his conscience pure and holy,
Trusts in God, is meek and lowly;
He will in the church abide,
And in Salam’s hall reside.

5 He who stayeth in Thy dwelling
And upon Thy holy hill
Shall from God receive the blessing,
Mercy, comfort and goodwill.
He who truth and love attaineth
And in holiness remaineth;
He will in the church abide,
And in Salam’s hall reside.
