Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #XV (1760) Hymnal Title: A New Version of the Psalms of David 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. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English
