LORD, Who Are They That May Dwell

Author: J. E. Seddon Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 LORD, who are they that may dwell within the courts of your house? And by what lives do they show they dwell on your holy hill? 2 They lead an incorrupt life and do the thing that is right. They speak the truth from their heart and use not their tongue for harm. 3 They do no wrong to their friends and will not slander their name. They scorn the one who is false but love those who fear the LORD. 4 They stand by what they have vowed, although it be to their hurt. They do not sin with their wealth and will not be swayed with bribes. 5 Now these are they who may dwell within the courts of the LORD. Their lives shall never be moved; they stand in their God, secure.
