Who shall tow’rd thy chosen seat
Turn in glad approach his feet?
Who, great God, a welcome guest,
On that hallow’d mountain rest?
He whose heart thy love has warmed,
He whose will, to thine conformed,
Bids his life unsullied run;
He whose word and thought are one.
He who ne’er with cruel aim
Seeks to wound an honest fame,
Not with gloomy joy possessed,
Can a brother’s peace molest.
Who, from servile terror free,
Spurns at those who spurn at thee,
And to each who thee obeys
Love and lowliest reverence pays.
What he swears, with steadfast will
To his loss he shall fulfil;
Nor can bribes his sentence guide
‘Gainst the guiltless to decide.
He who thus, with heart unstained,
Treads the path by thee ordained,
He, great God, shall own thy care,
And thy constant blessing share.
