1308. 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.

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.

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

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