32. Who Shall in Thy Tabernacle

1. Who shall in Thy tabernacle,
In Thy holy hill abide?
He that loves the truth and dies it,
Who form lying turns aside;
He who earnestly is striving
In uprightness to be living,
In the Church shall stand,
And he Salem’s citizen shall be.

2. Who shall in Thy tabernacle,
In Thy holy maintain dwell?
He that keeps his tongue from sinning,
And who treats his neighbor well;
Doeth, teacheth evil never,
Honors those who fear God ever,
In the Church shall stand,
And he Salem’s citizen shall be.

3. Who shall in Thy tabernacle,
In Thy holy hill abide?
He whose heart contemns the wicked,
Shunning all deceit and pride;
Who no usury upholdeth,
Innocence and right enfoldeth:
In the Church shall stand, and he
Salem’s citizen shall be.

4. Who shall in Thy tabernacle
Stand, upon Thy holy hill?
He whose word is truly spoken,
He whose hand will do no ill;
Who his heart e’er pure retaineth,
- In the hope of God remaineth,
In the Church shall stand, and he
Salem’s citizen shall be.

5. All who in Thy tabernacle,
In Thy holy hill abide,
With Thy mercy, peace, and blessing
Wilt Thou lavishly provide;
Who the truth are loving solely,
Seek to make their lives more holy,
- In Thy Church shall stand, and be
Blest by Thee eternally!
