Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man who minds religion now,
And humbly walk with God below:
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean;
Whose lips shall speak the things they mean;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbour wrong.
3 [Scarce will he trust an ill report,
Nor vent 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 scorn and wrong 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

The Law of God is Good and Wise
Author: Matthias Loy Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #150 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Good Works Lyrics: 1 The law of God is good and wise
and sets his will before our eyes,
shows us the way of righteousness,
and dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
the knowledge of our sinful hearts
that we may see our lost estate
and seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
and would in works of love abound
it shows what deeds are his delight
and should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
and wilfully in sin remain,
its terror in their ear resounds
and keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
its holiness condemns us all;
it dooms us for our sin to die
and has no pow'r to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
who from the curse has set us free,
and humbly worship at his throne,
saved by his grace through faith alone.
