Keep the Commandments
Gently
(Optional obbligato for flute or soprano voice*)
1. Keep the commandments; keep the commandments!
In this there is safety; in this there is peace.
He will send blessings;
He will send blessings.
Words of a prophet:
[Chorus]
Keep the commandments.
In this there is safety and peace.
2. We are His children; we are His children,
and we must be tested to show we are true.
Hold to His promises;
Hold to His promises,
Heeding the prophets:
[Chorus]
Keep the commandments.
In this there is safety and peace.
* The obbligato also works well with the version of this song printed in Hymns, no. 303.
