TEXT.

Do justice, love kindness, 
walk humbly with our God;
Show mercy, grow compassion, 
and live and love and humbly walk with God.

Let others be the clanging cymbal;
Let others have their boast or brag;
Let others cling to the things their eyes see;
But let me walk humbly with Thee. 

Let others know the pull of fortune;
Let others know the thrill of fame;
But as for me Lord, give me the strength and humility 
to walk only, and humbly, with Thee.
