Avouched This Day

Words by King James Version, from Deuteronomy 26:17-19

Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:

And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;

And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

Story Behind the Song

“Avouched This Day” is a modern Scripture song setting the King James Version text of Deuteronomy 26:17-19. The passage describes Israel’s covenantal avouching of the LORD as God and the LORD’s avouching of Israel as his peculiar people. It is associated with the Sing the KJV Scripture-song repertoire rather than with the older standard hymn tradition.
