1 Hearing the blessed story,
Old, and yet ever new;
Telling God’s love eternal,
Faithful and strong and true;
Let us show love to others
Keep this command in view:
Refrain:
“Be ye not hearers only;
Ye must be doers, too!
Be ye not hearers only;
Ye must be doers, too!”
2 Hearing of God’s forgiveness,
Wondeful, broad, and free;
What is the daily duty,
Nearest to you and me?
Let us forgive each other,
Keep this command in view: [Refrain]
3 Hearing of the heav’nly glory,
After life’s race is run;
Shall we not, faithful steadfast,
Labor till set of sun?
Let us then help each other,
Keep this command in view: [Refrain]
