Chorus: Ask for the old paths, walk in the old paths; Christ and the prophets trod the way before: Ask for the old paths, walk in the old paths, Leading away to the better shore. 2 Christ and the prophets traveled hand in hand; Heeding the Bible, we with them must stand; But when we walk with custom for a guide, How soon to error we turn aside! [Chorus] 3 Then, being honest, search, and you shall find Christ by his teaching proves the law divine; He by the prophets showed his gospel true; So law and gospel we offer you.
