The Pure in Heart.

By Uriah Smith

“And in their mouth was found no guile; for they are without fault before the throne of God.”

FAULTLESS before the great white throne Can I, an erring mortal, stand? Within my lips no guile be known, Nor stain be found in heart or hand?

Thus, Lord, must all thy servants be, Who would thy face in peace behold, Their Saviour in his beauty see, Or walk at last the streets of gold.

In my own strength no hope I claim; No merit of myself have I; I plead my Lord's prevailing name; To his dear arms for help I fly.

Wash me in that great fount of love, In fountain opened for our race; Fit me to tread thy courts above, And joyful to behold thy face. U. S.
