Psalm 24:1. C. M

The earth for ever is the Lord's, With Adam's numerous race; He rais'd its arches o'er the floods, And built it on the seas.

But who among the sons of men May visit thine abode? He that has hands from mischief clean, Whose heart is right with God.

This is the man may rise, and take The blessings of his grace; This is the lot of those that seek The God of Jacob's face.

Now let our soul's immortal powers To meet the Lord prepare, Lift up their everlasting doors, The King of glory's near.

The King of glory! who can tell The wonders of his might! He rules the nations; but to dwell With saints is his delight.

Psalm 24:2. L. M. Saints dwell in heaven; or, Christ's ascension.

This spacious earth is all the Lord's, And men, and worms, and beasts, and birds: He rais'd the building on the seas, And gave it for their dwelling-place.

But there's a brighter world on high, Thy palace, Lord, above the sky: Who shall ascend that blest abode, And dwell so near his Maker God?

He that abhors and fears to sin, Whose heart is pure whose hands are clean, Him shall the Lord the Saviour bless, And clothe his soul with righteousness.

These are the men, the pious race That seek the God of Jacob's face; These shall enjoy the blissful sight, And dwell in everlasting light.
