- 1Hear the words our Savior hath spoken,Words of life unfailing and true;Careless one, prayer-less one, bear and remember, Jesus says,“Blessed are they that do.”Blessed are they that do His commandments,Blessed are they, blessed are they;Blessed are they that do His commandments,Blessed, blessed, blessed are they.
- 2All in vain we hear His commandments,All in vain His promises, too;Hearing them, fearing them, never can save us,Blessed, O blessed are they that do.Blessed are they that do His commandments,Blessed are they, blessed are they;Blessed are they that do His commandments,Blessed, blessed, blessed are they.
- 3They with joy may enter the city,Free from sin, from sorrow and strife,Sanctified, glorified, now and forever,They may have right to the tree of life.Blessed are they that do His commandments,Blessed are they, blessed are they;Blessed are they that do His commandments,Blessed, blessed, blessed are they.
