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.

2 Ev'ry precept You have spoken
is essential to our life;
all Your mandates are love's token,
to oppose them is but strife. [Refrain]

3 In Your wisdom, Lord, confiding
we will follow in Your way,
with Your love in us abiding
’tis delightful to obey. [Refrain]

4 Each commandment You have given
is a waymark on the road,
leading up from earth to heaven
to the blessed throne of God. [Refrain]
