1 The precepts of the Word are pure,
Its promises and hopes endure;
That statutes of the Lord are right,
In keeping them is great delight.

2 The teachings of God's Word impart
His gracious counsels to the heart,
And higher principles instil,
And mould anew the heart and will.

3 Lord, Thy commands be our delight,
Thy Gospel be our saving might;
And by thy truth on us impress
The image of Thy holiness.

4 Then will our life, in turn, conform
Unto Thy Word, as guide and norm:
And by our walk it shall appear,
That our profession is sincere.

5 Grace grace for grace to us anew,
To practice still what we hold true;
And grant that what we hold, dear Lord,
Be the pure doctrines of Thy Word.
