Obedience

Verse 1

By Thy blessed word obeying, Lord, we prove our love sincere; For we hear Thee gently saying, “Love will do as well as hear.”

Chorus

Dear Redeemer, we would hallow All Thy word so firm and true; In Thy footsteps meekly follow, Thy commands we love to do.

Verse 2

Feigned hearts Thy name professing, Thy commandments cast aside; But we feel Thy great salvation, And in all Thy truth abide.

Verse 3

Every word Thy mouth hath spoken Is essential to our life; All Thy mandates love betoken, To oppose them is but strife.

Verse 4

In Thy wisdom, Lord, confiding, We will follow in Thy way; With Thy love in us abiding, ’Tis delightful to obey.

Verse 5

Each commandment Thou hast given Is a waymark on the road; Leading up from earth to heaven, To the blessed throne of God.
