346. 7s. M. Merrick.

"Who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" Ps. 15.

1Who shall towards thy chosen seat

Turn, O Lord, his favored feet?

Who shall at thine altar bend?

Who shall Zion's hill ascend?

Who, great God, a welcome guest,

On thy holy mountain rest?

2He whose heart thy love has warmed,

He whose will, to thine conformed,

Bids his life unsullied run;

He whose word and thought are one;

Who, from sin's contagion free,

Lifts his willing soul to thee.

3He who thus, with heart unstained,

Treads the path by thee ordained,

He shall towards thy chosen seat

Turn, O Lord, his favored feet;

He thy ceaseless care shall prove,

He shall share thy constant love.

The Same.

1Lord, 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 every thought and deed

By rules of virtue moves;

Whose generous tongue disdains to speak

The thing his heart disproves;

3Who never did a slander forge,

His neighbor's fame to wound;

Nor hearken to a false report,

By malice whispered round;

4Who to his plighted vows and trust

Has ever firmly stood;

And though he promise to his loss,

He makes his promise good.

5The man who by this steady course

Has happiness ensured,

When earth's foundations shake, shall stand

By Providence secured.
