15. Lord, who may venture where you dwell

Author: David G Preston

Lord, who may venture where you dwell,
or worship on your holy hill?
The pure in heart, whose blameless lives
by word and deed obey your will.

2. They never do their neighbour wrong
and utter no malicious word;
the sinner’s folly they despise,
but honour those who fear the Lord.

3. They keep their oath at any cost,
and gladly lend, though not for gain;
they hate all bribery: come what may,
secure for ever they remain.
