Keep Your Oath

Lyrics

Matthew five, thirty three through thirty seven

Again, ye have heard
that it hath been said
by them of old time,
Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform
unto the Lord thine oaths:

But I say unto you,
Swear not at all;
neither by heaven;
for it is God’s throne:

Nor by the earth;
for it is his footstool:
neither by Jerusalem;
for it is the city
of the great King.

Neither shalt thou swear
by thy head,
because thou canst not make
one hair white or black.

But let your communication be,
Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.

Matthew chapter five, verse thirty three through thirty seven

Again, ye have heard
that it hath been said
by them of old time,
Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform
unto the Lord thine oaths:

But I say unto you,
Swear not at all;
neither by heaven;
for it is God’s throne:

Nor by the earth;
for it is his footstool:
neither by Jerusalem;
for it is the city
of the great King.

Neither shalt thou swear
by thy head,
because thou canst not make
one hair white or black.

But let your communication be,
Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.

The book of Matthew chapter five, verse thirty-three through thirty-seven

Again, ye have heard
that it hath been said
by them of old time,
Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform
unto the Lord thine oaths:

But I say unto you,
Swear not at all;
neither by heaven;
for it is God’s throne:

Nor by the earth;
for it is his footstool:
neither by Jerusalem;
for it is the city
of the great King.

Neither shalt thou swear
by thy head,
because thou canst not make
one hair white or black.

But let your communication be,
Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.
