1.

The Word of truth and of righteousness
We love; it maketh us free from sin.
And if we bow and obey it now,
Christ dwells within.

2.

God, give us wisdom to live aright
And break through all Satan’s slavery.
The flesh not sparing; for self not caring
Is liberty.

3.

Revive us, Lord, unto zealousness,
To hate all sin and to break its rule.
O cleanse Thy temple and set Thy seal
Upon us all.

4.

O help us always in faithfulness
To battle onward, be ne’er cast down.
’Gainst self and sin we will fight to win
The victor’s crown.

5.

So we will praise Thee, our Savior dear.
Thou art our King, and we’ll Thee obey.
Come soon again! We with Thee will reign.
O glorious day!
