Let us hear the conclusion

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter,
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter,
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter;
Fear God and keep his commandments;
For this is the duty of man the whole duty of man.
Hear the conclusion, hear the conclusion,
hear the conclusion of the whole matter;
Hear the conclusion, hear the conclusion

Fear God, fear God,
Fear God and keep his law
Fear God, fear God, and keep the ten commandments;
For this is the duty of man, the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring ev'ry work into judgment,
With ev'ry secret thing,
Whether good or evil;
With ev'ry secret thing,
Whether good or evil. Amen, Amen.
