Not one single jot or tittle Hear the great Teacher say From my Father's ten commandments Ever shall pass away.

They shall gain the golden city, Dwell on the earth made new, Who have kept the ten commandments, Owning the Saviour too.

Would you be among the number Jesus will honor then? Faith in him can only save you Heeding the precepts ten.

Blessed are they, blessed are they, Blessed are they that do; Blessed are they, blessed are they: Can it be said of you? Whosoever shall deny them, Teaching men so to do, Him will I deny in heaven: Do you believe it true?
