Hymnal: Psalms #101b (1793) First Line: Of justice and of grace I sing Lyrics: 1 Of justice and of grace I sing,
And pay my God my vows;
Thy grace and justice heav'nly King,
Teach me to rule thy house.
2 Now to my tent, O God repair,
And make thy servant wise;
I'll suffer nothing near me there
That shall offend thine eyes.
3 The man that doth his neighbour wrong
By falsehood or by force,
The scornful eye, the sland'rous tongue,
I'll thrust them from my doors.
4 I'll seek the faithful and the just,
And will their help enjoy;
These are the friends that I shall trust,
The servants I'll employ.
5 The wretch that deals in sly deceit
I'll not endure a night;
The liar's tongue I ever hate,
And banish from my sight.
6 I'll purge my family around,
And make the wicked flee;
So shall my house be ever found
A dwelling fit for thee. Scripture: Psalm 101 Languages: English
