Representative Text

1 'Tis thy command that ev'ry one
Should thy disciple be,
'Tis thy command that we should leave
Our all, and follow thee.

Chorus:
'Tis thy command, with heart and hand
Thy cause defending still,
To do and dare, thy cross to bear;
And by thy grace we will. [Chorus]

2 'Tis thy command that ev'ry heart
Thy temple, Lord, should be,
Should keep the perfect law of love,
And walk by faith with thee. [Chorus]

3 'Tis thy command that we should grow
In grace from day to day,
Should watch against the tempter's power,
And not forget to pray. [Chorus]

4 And since obedience to thy law
Our test of love must be,
Accept the willing sacrifice
That now we bring to thee. [Chorus]
