What Does The Lord Require

What does the Lord require

for praise and offering?

What sacrifice desire,

or tribute bid you bring?

Do justly; love mercy;

walk humbly with your God.

Rulers of earth, give ear!

Should you not justice show?

Will God your pleading hear,

while crime and cruelty grow?

Do justly; love mercy;

walk humbly with your God.

Still down the ages ring

the prophet's stern commands.

To merchant, worker, king

he brings God's high demands.

Do justly; love mercy;

walk humbly with your God.

How shall my soul fulfil

God's law so hard and high?

Let Christ endue our will

with grace to fortify.

Then justly, in mercy

we'll humbly walk with God.
