O righteous nation! enter in, That kept the law of truth below, Enter the place, all free from sin, Where life's pure waters gently flow. Where life's pure waters gently flow.

Within these walls shall they remain, Who trusted, mighty Lord! in Thee. Death, their last enemy, is slain; They have a right to life's fair tree. They have a right to life's fair tree.
