Tune: Old Hundredth
('All people that on earth do dwell')
Psalm 24 v.1-5
********
The earth is the Lord's, the fulness
The world, all therein, we confess
He has founded it on the seas
Made each thing as it Him does please
Who shall ascend into the hill
Of the Lord, to His temple still?
Who shall stand in His holy place?
We shall, but only by His grace
They that have clean hands and pure heart
Not from the Lord prone to depart
Nor lifted soul to vanity
Nor have they sworn deceitfully
They sure shall receive the blessing
From the Lord, and He too shall bring
Them righteousness, He the God be
Of salvation eternally
