What does the Lord require for praise and offering?

by Albert F. Bayly (1901–1984)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 571.

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

Rulers of men, 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.

Verse 3

How shall our life fulfill 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.
