The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4111

4111. Lord, Who Shall Come to Thee?

1. Lord, who shall come to Thee,
And stand before Thy face?
Who shall abide, a welcome guest,
Within Thy holy place?

2. The man of upright life,
Sincere in word and deed,
Who slanders neither friend nor foe,
Nor idle tales will heed.

3. Who honors godly men,
But scorns the false and vile,
Who keeps his promised word to all,
Though loss be his the while.

4. Who loves not usury,
Nor takes a base reward;
Unmoved forever he shall be,
And stand before the Lord.
