Characters of a Saint; or, a Citizen of Zion; or, The Qualifications of a Christian

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #24b (1740) Topics: Good Works First Line: Who shall inhabit in thy Hill Lyrics: 1 Who shall inhabit in thy Hill, O GOD of Holiness? Whom will the Lord admit to dwell So near his Throne of Grace? 2 The Man that walks in pious Ways, And works with righteous Hands; That trusts his Maker's Promises, And follows his Commands. 3 He speaks the Meaning of his Heart, Nor slanders with his Tongue; Will scarce believe an ill Report, Nor do his Neighbour Wrong. 4 The wealthy Sinner he contemns, Loves all that fear the Lord; And tho' to his own Hurt he swears, Still he performs his Word. 5 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. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #25 (1740) Topics: Good Works First Line: Who shall ascend thy heavn'ly Place Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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 Neighbour Wrong. 3 [Scarce will he trust an ill Report, Nor vents it to his Neighbour's Hurt: Sinners of State he can despise, But Saints are honour'd in his Eyes.] 4 [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.] 5 [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.] 6 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. 7 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. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #26 (1986) Topics: God the Father Works Lyrics: 1 Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme, Awake, my voice, and sing The mighty works or mightier name Of our eternal King. 2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness, And sound his power abroad; Sing the sweet promise of his grace, The quickening word of God. 3 His every word of grace is strong As that which built the skies; The voice that rolls the stars along Speaks all the promises. 4 Now shall my fainting heart rejoice To know thy favour sure; I trust the all-creating voice, And faith desires no more.
