1 The spacious Earth is all the Lord's;
The Lord's her Fulness is,
The World, and they that dwell therein,
By sov'reign Right are his.

2 But, for Himself, this Lord of All
One chosen Seat design'd;
O! who shall to that sacred Place
Deserv'd Admittance find?

4 The Man whose Hands and Heart are pure;
Whose Thoughts from Pride are free;
Who honest Poverty prefers
To gainful Perjury.

5 This—This is He, on whom the Lord
Will show'r His Blessings down;
Whom God, his Saviour, will vouchsafe
With Righteousness to crown.
