"Wilt Thou, O Man, Live Happily" by Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Text From: EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN HYMN-BOOK (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1927), p. 366 1. Wilt thou, O man, live happily And dwell with God eternally? The Ten Commandments keep, for thus Our God Himself biddeth us. Have mercy, Lord! 2. I am thy Lord and God; take heed Lest other gods do thee mislead. Thy heart shall trust alone in Me; Thou shalt My own kingdom be. Have mercy, Lord! 3. Honor My name in word and deed And call on Me in time of need. Hallow the Sabbath that I may Work in thy heart on that day. Have mercy, Lord! 4. Obedient always, next to Me, To father and to mother be. Kill no man, but to wrath be slow. Be true to thy marriage vow. Have mercy, Lord! 5. Steal not nor do thy neighbor wrong By bearing witness with false tongue. Thy neighbor's wife desire thou not Nor grudge him aught he hath got. Have mercy, Lord! ________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #392 Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book Author: Martin Luther, 1525 Translated by: Richard Massie, a. _____________________________________________________________ This text was converted to ascii format for Project Wittenberg by Cindy A.
