Who Shall Stand?

"LORD who shall abide in thy Tabernacle?" Ps. xv.
He only who uprightly walks Through life's uneven way, Who asks for heavenly wisdom And guidance day by day ; Who seeks in all his ways to bless, And does the works of righteousness.
Who when his neighbor is assailed By slander's poisonous dart, Will never take up a reproach, But act a nobler part ; And when no good of him can speak, Will on his tongue a "bridle" keep.
He in whose eyes a person vile Contemptible doth seem, His vision clear doth point him out Unclouded by a beam ; Whose feet are found in wisdom's way, Who from all such will "turn away."
Who honoreth the pure in heart, Whose trust is in their Lord, Who taketh naught of unjust gain Nor innocent's reward ; He who all these things doeth well, Shall in God's tabernacle dwell. E. House. Catlin. N. Y.
