Ascension

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

Who shall ascend upon your hill?
Without vanity or deceit,
To do your will.

The one that cleanses their heart.

His righteousness and salvation,
Shall be their rampart.

Is this a generation that seeks the truth?
Or will we face His reproof.

Lift up your gates and let Him come in.

He is strong and mighty,
Those who are called,
Will ascend to Him.
