1. By Thy blessed word obeying, Lord, we prove our love sincere; For we hear Thee gently saying, ?Love will do as well as hear.? * Refrain: Dear Redeemer, we would hallow All Thy word so firm and true; In Thy footsteps meekly follow, Thy commands we love to do. 2. Feigned hearts Thy name professing, Thy commandments cast aside; But we feel Thy great salvation, And in all Thy truth abide. 3. Every word Thy mouth hath spoken Is essential to our life; All Thy mandates love betoken, To oppose them is but strife. 4. In Thy wisdom, Lord, confiding, We will follow in Thy way; With Thy love in us abiding, 'Tis delightful to obey. 5. Each commandment Thou hast given Is a waymark on the road; Leading up from earth to heaven, To the blessed throne of God.
