What Does the Lord Require

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.

2.  Rulers of earth, give ear!
    Should you not justice know?
    Will God your pleading hear,
    While crime and cruelty grow?
    Do justly; love mercy;
    Walk humbly with your God.

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.
