1 Wilt thou, O man, live happily,
And dwell with God eternally?
The ten commandments keep, for thus
Our God Himself biddeth us.
Have mercy, Lord!

2 I am thy Lord and God! take heed
No other gods doth thee mislead;
Thy heart shall trust alone in me,
Thou shalt my own kingdom be.
Have mercy, Lord!

3 Honor my name in word and deed,
And call on me in time of need;
Hallow the Sabbath, that I may
Work in thy heart on that day.
Have mercy, Lord!

Work in thy heart on that day.

4 Obedient always, next to me,
To father and to mother be;
Kill no man, but to wrath be slow;
Be true to thy marriage vow.
Have mercy, Lord!
To father and to mother be;
Kill no man, but to wrath be slow;
Be true to thy marriage vow.
Have mercy, Lord!
