1 By Your blessed word obeying,
Lord, we prove our love sincere;
For we hear You gently saying,
“Love will do as well as hear.”
Refrain:
Dear Redeemer, we would hallow
All Your word so firm and true;
In Your footsteps meekly follow,
Your commands we love to do.
3 Every precept You have spoken
Is essential to our life;
All Your mandates are love's token,
To oppose them is but strife. [Refrain]
4 In Your wisdom, Lord, confiding,
We will follow in Your way;
With Your love in us abiding,
’Tis delightful to obey. [Refrain]
5 Each commandment You have given
Is a way-mark on the road;
Leading up from earth to heaven,
To the blessed throne of God. [Refrain]
