8,6,8,6 Attend, ye tribes that dwell remote, ye tribes at hand, give ear; Th' upright in heart alone have hope. the false in heart have fear. The man who walks with God in truth, and ev'ry guile disdains; Who hates to lift oppression's rod, and scorns its shameful gains; Whose soul abhors the impious bribe the tempts from truth to stray, And from th' enticing snares of vice who turns his eyes away: His dwelling, midst the strength of rocks, shall ever stand secure; His Father will provide his bread, his water shall be sure. For him the kingdom of the just afar doth glorious shine; And he the King of kings shall see in majesty divine. |
