1.

Walking in truth is to walk on life’s way.
Buy, therefore, truth; sell it not, come what may.
Truth will deliver and free you;
Into the light it will lead you.
Walking in light on truth’s way is so blest;
Then truth itself is in you manifest.

2.

You’re of the truth when God’s voice you can hear.
Walking in truth then brings comfort so dear.
Truth binds and also releases;
Truth both offends and it pleases.
If fervent love for the truth dwells in you,
Then in your life it will miracles do.

3.

Walk in the truth and great joy you’ll attain;
If you are faithful, then vict’ry you’ll gain.
Let the truth deal with you freely;
It will transform you completely.
Though you’re as weak as a wavering reed,
Truth gives you boldness in word and in deed.

4.

Truth will, for sure, make a man out of you,
Lighting a fire of zeal in you too.
Truth gives a Sword you’ll start wielding,
So you for life fight, unyielding.
Life will grow richer for you day by day;
Truth, yes, the truth—it, indeed, is life’s way.
