Who Shall Ascend Thy Heav’nly Place? (EN 537)

EN 537 Who Shall Ascend Thy Heav’nly Place?

Ps.15.1

Versi Version 1

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 neighbor wrong.

3

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.

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.
