This is the voice of God,
That to the child­ren speaks,
And in each earth­ly home
A will­ing ec­ho seeks.
Obey your par­ents in the Lord.
In the Lord, in the Lord.
’Tis God’s own voice, ’tis God’s own word,
’Tis God’s own voice, ’tis God’s own word.
This is the voice of God,
That to the child­ren speaks,
And in each earth­ly home
A will­ing ec­ho seeks.

’Twas spok­en on the mount
To Mo­ses, and it came
On, on thro’ clouds and smoke
Thro’ trum­pet and thro’ flame,
Honor thy par­ents, saith the Lord,
Saith the Lord, saith the Lord.
’Tis God’s own voice, ’tis God’s own word,
’Tis God’s own voice, ’tis God’s own word.
’Twas spok­en on the mount
To Mo­ses, and it came
On, on thro’ clouds and smoke
Thro’ trum­pet and thro’ flame.

When Je­sus came to earth,
He was a lit­tle child
Who learned obe­di­ence well
In ac­tions meek and mild.
Honor thy par­ents, saith the Lord,
Saith the Lord, saith the Lord.
He knew the voice, He heard the word,
He knew the voice, He heard the word.
When Je­sus came to earth,
He was a lit­tle child
Who learned obe­di­ence well
In ac­tions meek and mild.

Oh, child­ren, walk with Christ—
In du­ty’s path He trod;
And when your jour­ney’s o’er,
You’ll have a home with God.
Obey your par­ents, saith the Lord,
Saith the Lord, saith the Lord.
’Tis His own voice, ’tis His own word,
’Tis His own voice, ’tis His own word.
Oh, child­ren, walk with Christ—
In du­ty’s path He trod;
And when your jour­ney’s o’er,
You’ll have a home with God.
