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.
Psalm 15: Within thy tabernacle, Lord
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.

within the courts of the LORD.
Their lives shall never be moved;

In thine own ways, O God of love,
We wait the visits of thy grace,
Our soul's desire is to thy name,
And the remembrance of thy face.
My thoughts are searching, Lord, for thee
'Mongst the black shades of lonesome night;
My earnest cries salute the skies
Before the dawn restore the light.
Look, how rebellious men deride
The tender patience of my God!
But they shall see thy lifted hand,
And feel the scourges of thy rod.
Hark! the Eternal rends the sky,
A mighty voice before him goes;
A voice of music to his friends,
But threat'ning thunder to his foes.
Come, children, to your Father's arms,
Hide in the chambers of my grace,
Till the fierce storms be overblown,
And my revenging fury cease.
My sword shall boast its thousands slain,
And drink the blood of haughty kings,
While heav'nly peace around my flock
Stretches its soft and shady wings.

"I lift my banner," saith the Lord,
"Where Antichrist has stood;
The city of my gospel foes
Shall be a field of blood.
"My heart has studied just revenge,
And now the day appears;
The day of my redeemed is come
To wipe away their tears.
"Quite weary is my patience grown,
And bids my fury go;
Swift as the lightning it shall move,
And be as fatal too.
"I call for helpers, but in vain;
Then has my gospel none?
Well, mine own arm has might enough
To crush my foes alone.
"Slaughter and my devouring sword
Shall walk the streets around,
Babel shall reel beneath my stroke,
And stagger to the ground."
Thy honors, O victorious King!
Thine own right hand shall raise,
While we thy awful vengeance sing,
And our deliv'rer praise.

LORD, to You My Soul Is Lifted
Could I, with tongues of Angels speak
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 15 Lyrics: 1 Could I, with tongues of Angels speak
With all the eloquence of men!
And not the love of God partake,
All my profession would be vain.
2 I should be like the sounding Brass,
Or like the tinkling of a Bell;
And should I for an Angel pass,
It would not save my soul from Hell.
3 Had I the gifts of prophecy,
And all the mysteries reveal'd,
Yet in my sins I be to die,
Unless my heart with love is fill'd.
4 Had I such faith as could remove
The greatest mountains from their place;
Yet all in vain, till christian love
Is wrought in me, by saving grace.
5 If all my goods the poor to feed,
With my concent was freely giv'n;
But without charity indeed,
I never should be fit for heav'n.
6 My body given for to burn,
To make attonements for my sin--
I should be like a varnish'd urn,
That which hath nought but filth within.
7 O, may that precious gift of God!
True charity, that grace divine--
In all my heart be shed abroad,
And seal me Lord for ever thine. Topics: Quinquagesima

To heav'n from whence he came--
And there he reigns in glorious light,
And angels praise his name.
3 For that he once himself abas'd,
And died to set us free;
He is by all in heaven prais'd,
And will for ever be.
4 Once more on earth he is to come,
To judge the human race
And take his ransom'd people home,
To know his pow'r and grace.

Lord, who shall to thy courts repair
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 15 Lyrics: 1 LORD! who shall to thy Courts repair,
And, crown'd with Bliss, inhabit there?
Oh! who shall find that late Retreat?
Not Stranger-like awhile to stay,
As, those who transient Visits pay;
But fix with thee a lasting Seat?
2 'Tis he whose pure unspotted Heart,
Doth pure and spotless Thoughts impart,
Whose Deeds by Rules of Virtue move:
'Tis he whose Words are soft and meek,
Whose gen'rous Tongue disdains to speak
The Thing his Heart doth not approve.
3 Who never Slander whisper'd round,
His Neighbour's spotless Fame to wound,
Or wrapt his Thoughts in mean Disguise;
Who never lent a list'ning Ear,
The keen provoking Strokes to hear,
Of bold Reproach or secret Lies.
4 Who Vice in all her Pomp array'd,
With Wealth and Honours full display'd,
Can nobly treat with just Neglect;
And Piety, tho' set aside,
For scornful Sinners to deride,
Doth with religious Zeal respect.
5 Who to his plighted Vows and Trust,
With Heart inviolably just,
Hath evermore unshaken stood;
Whose Soul by Usury disdains
To heap up ill-acquired Gains,
Nor hath, for Bribes, sought guiltless Blood.
6 The Man, who by this steady Course,
Hath shunn'd the Sting of keen Remorse,
And inward Happiness insur'd;
Tho' Earth's from her Foundation shake,
And troubled Nature loudly quake,
