In ancient times the law of God In letter was engraved on stone; But now it is a law of life, Which in our heart is written down. |
|

|
The law in letters good demands And thus our utter weakness shows; But now the law of life sustains, And strength for God to please bestows. |
|

|
The law in letters brings to us God’s knowledge only outwardly; But now the law of life supplies A deeper knowledge inwardly. |
|

|
The law in letters can but rule By dead commandments outwardly; But now the law of life controls By living knowledge inwardly. |
|

|
This living law is moving now In all of our experience, To regulate us from within And check us by our inner sense. |
|

|
How deep its regulation is Within the inmost part of us, A living consciousness to give, And God Himself impart to us. |
|
7
|
’Tis by this living law of life We need no teaching outwardly, For all God’s living knowledge now This law will teach us inwardly. |
|
8
|
Lord, teach us by this law to walk, Its inner ruling to obey, That we may of Thyself partake And know Thee in a living way. |
