The Gospel Decalogue.
1 No other gods shall thou adore;
None other love but me.
2 To sculptured or to pictured forms,
Thou shalt not bow thy knee.
3 Speak not God's name with lips profane;
Each word shall judgment find.
4 Remember thou the Sabbath day,
For holy rest designed.
5 Obey thy parents in the Lord,
And life is promised thee.
6 Thou shalt not steal thy neighbor's goods
Secure from harm shall be.
7 No lustful look, or thought, shalt thou
Permit to stain thy mind.
8 No murder shalt thou do, nor e'er
To anger be inclined.
9 No lying witness shalt thou bear
Against thy neighbor's name:
10. Nor wish, with covetous desire,
His houses, lands or fame.
God seen in all His works
If wisdom's ways you wisely seek,
First things observe with care:
To whom you speak,
Of whom you speak,
And how and when and where.
