This Is What Yahweh Asks / Walk Humbly with Your God

This hymn, which is based on Micah 6:8, was written by American religious sister Mary McGann RSCJ.

It is similar to, but not the same as, Micah's Theme (Hear then what Yahweh asks of you).

The song starts with a three-line chorus, and this is repeated after each of the three verses. A rough outline is:

Chorus:
This is what Yahweh asks of you, only this:
That you act justly, that you love tenderly,
That you walk humbly with your God.

1 My children I am with you such a little while ...

2 Do not let your hearts be troubled ...

3 Peace is the gift I leave with you ...
