Psalm 15

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.30 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Good Works 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. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English

His love is my perpetual feast; By day his counsels guide me right; And be his name for ever blessed, Who gives me sweet advice by night. I set him still before mine eyes; At my right hand he stands prepared To keep my soul from all surprise, And be my everlasting guard. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

Though in the dust I lay my head, Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave My soul for ever with the dead, Nor lose thy children in the grave. My flesh shall thy first call obey, Shake off the dust, and rise on high; Then shalt thou lead the wondrous way Up to thy throne above the sky. There streams of endless pleasure flow; And full discoveries of thy grace (Which we but tasted here below) Spread heav'nly joys through all the place. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

There sits the Son at God's right hand, And there the Father smiles.] Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English
