Representative Text

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,
No 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 for ever he shall be,
And stand before the Lord.

Amen.
