Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #186 (1908) Lyrics: 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. Topics: The Catechism The Word; Fourth Sunday after Epiphany; Second Sunday in Lent; Fourth Sunday after Easter; Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: MENDON
