To Obey is Better than Sacrifice

To obey is better than sacrifice, the Lord hath said;

1

To obey is better than sacrifice, the Lord hath said;To hearken when he commandeth, than an off'ring made.

2

All ye who say, "There is naught to do since Christ doth save,"Remember what he commands you in the Book he gave.

3

Remember only the doers of the word are blest;'Tis well to hear and believe it, but to do is best.

Chorus.

Turn to the Lord, and he will be gracious,Walk in the way of his commandments.To obey is better than sacrifice, the Lord hath said;To hearken when he commandeth, than an off'ring made.
