Lyrics (Psalm 15:2-3, 3-4, 5):

Response: He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.

stained glass bulletOne who walks blamelessly and does justice;
who thinks the truth in his heart
and slanders not with his tongue. Response

stained glass bulletWho harms not his fellow man,
nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;
by whom the reprobate is despised,
while he honors those who fear the LORD. Response

stained glass bulletWho lends not his money at usury
and accepts no bribe against the innocent.
One who does these things
shall never be disturbed. Response
