1 My friends let me say that wherever you go,
God’s spirit will give you true light;
Escape the temptations, that lead thee astray,
Obey His command and do right.
Refrain:
Oh sinner you think it is hard to be good,
Your conscience will tell you aright,
That christians are happy while living below,—
Obey His command and do right.
2 God’s teaching is plain, why should you refuse,
The promise that gives us delight;
Salvation gives freedom to all who believe,
Obey His command and do right. [Refrain]
3 The joy of salvation is heaven to gain,
Its pleasures are charming and bright;
The blessed Redeemer has promised to keep—
Obey His command and do right. [Refrain]
4 Ye weary ones wrestle as Jacob once did,
Be ready to welcome the light;
Oh think of the favours He offers to you—
Obey His command and do right. [Refrain]
