By Thy Blessed Word Obeying,
Lord, We Prove Our Love Sincere;
For We Hear Thee Gently Saying,
“Love Will Do As Well As Hear.”
Dear Redeemer, We Would Hallow
All Thy Word So Firm And True;
In Thy Footsteps Meekly Follow,
Thy Commands We Love To Do.
Feigned Hearts Thy Name Professing,
Thy Commandments Cast Aside;
But We Feel Thy Great Salvation,
And In All Thy Truth Abide.
Every Word Thy Mouth Hath Spoken
Is Essential To Our Life;
All Thy Mandates Love Betoken,
To Oppose Them Is But Strife.
In Thy Wisdom, Lord, Confiding,
We Will Follow In Thy Way;
With Thy Love In Us Abiding,
‘Tis Delightful To Obey.
Each Commandment Thou Hast Given
Is A Waymark On The Road;
Leading Up From Earth To Heaven,
To The Blessed Throne Of God.
