Hill of the Lord

Who shall ascend into the Hill of the Lord? Who shall dwell with Him there face to face? Who shall abide in Your sanctuary Lord? Who shall stand up in Your holy place? (Chorus) He whose walk is blameless And he does what is right He speaks the truth from his heart But with his tongue will not backbite He does his neighbor no wrong Against him he speaks no slur Honoring the God-fearing He keeps a promise to his own hurt {channel} He shall receive the blessing of the Lord And righteousness from the God of his salvation And of those who seek the Lord, who seek his face Despising what's vile, this is that generation (Chorus) He who has clean hands and pure heart And to idols of vanity and conceit He has not lifted up his soul He has not sworn falsely with deceit He does not lend his money with interest And by him a bribe is never taken For He who does these things He shall never be shaken {channel 2} He who walks righteously and speaks what's right The gain of extortion and bribery he hates He stops his ears against plots of murder And seeing evil his eyes will not contemplate For he shall dwell on high The mountain fortress will be his defence His bread shall be supplied And water will never fail him But even more than this, if this person is who you are You shall see the king in all his beauty And behold the land, the city that is afar {channel} (Chorus)
