Psalm 15

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 121 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 15 First Line: Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place Lyrics: Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place, Great God, and dwell before thy face? The man that minds religion now, And humbly walks with God below; Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean, Whose lips still speak the thing they mean; No slanders dwell upon his tongue; He hates to do his neighbor wrong. [Scarce will he trust an ill report, Nor vents it to his neighbor's hurt: Sinners of state he can despise, But saints are honored in his eyes.] [Firm to his word he ever stood, And always makes his promise good; Nor dares to change the thing he swears, Whatever pain or loss he bears.] [He never deals in bribing gold, And mourns that justice should be sold; While others gripe and grind the poor, Sweet charity attends his door.] He loves his enemies, and prays For those that curse him to his face And doth to all men still the same That he would hope or wish from them. Yet, when his holiest works are done, His soul depends on grace alone: This is the man thy face shall see, And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee.

Psalm 15

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 15 First Line: Who shall inhabit in thy hill Lyrics: Who shall inhabit in thy hill, O God of holiness? Whom will the Lord admit to dwell So near his throne of grace? The man that walks in pious ways, And works with righteous hands; That trusts his Maker's promises, And follows his commands. He speaks the meaning of his heart, Nor slanders with his tongue; Will scarce believe an ill report, Nor do his neighbor wrong. The wealthy sinner he contemns, Loves all that fear the Lord; And though to his own hurt he swears, Still he performs his word. 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.

Psalm 15: Within thy tabernacle, Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 15 First Line: Within thy tabernacle, Lord Lyrics: 1Within thy tabernacle, Lord, who shall abide with thee? And in thy high and holy hill who shall a dweller be? 2The man that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And as he thinketh in his heart, so doth he truth express. 3Who doth not slander with his tongue, nor to his friend doth hurt; Nor yet against his neighbour doth take up an ill report. 4In whose eyes vile men are despis’d; but those that God do fear He honoureth; and changeth not, though to his hurt he swear. 5His coin puts not to usury, nor take reward will he Against the guiltless. Who doth thus shall never moved be.

Lord, who's the happy Man, that may

Appears in 46 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 15 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who's the happy Man, that may to thy blest Courts repair; Not, Stranger-like, to visit them, but to inhabit there? 2 'Tis he, whose ev'ry Thought, and Deed by Rules of Virtue moves; Whose gen'rous Tongue disdains to speak the Thing his Heart disproves. 3 Who never did a Slander forge, his Neighbour's Fame to wound; Nor hearken to a false Report, by malice whisper'd round. 4 Who vice, in all its Pomp and Pow'r, can treat with just Neglect; And Piety, tho' cloath'd in Rags, religiously respect. Who to his plighted vows and Trust has ever firmly stood; And tho' he promise to his Loss, he makes his Promise good. 5 Whose Soul in Usury disdains his Treasure to employ; Whom no Rewards can ever bribe, the Guiltless to destroy. The Man, who by this steady Course has Happiness ensur'd, When Earth's Foundation shakes, shall stand, by Providence secur'd.
