Practical Use of the Moral Law

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H44.III (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 44 First Line: Here, Lord, my soul convicted stands Lyrics: 10 Here, Lord, my soul convicted stands Of breaking all thy ten commands: And on me justly might'st thou pour Thy wrath in one eternal show'r. 11 But thanks to God, its loud alarms Have warn'd me of approaching harms; And now, O Lord, my wants I see, Lost and undone, I come to thee. 12 I know my fig-leaf righteousness Can ne'er thy broken law redress; Yet in thy gospel plan I see There's hope of pardon e'en for me. 13 There, I behold with wonder, Lord! That Christ hath to thy law restor'd Those honors of th' atoning day, Which guilty sinners took away. 14 Amazing wisdom, pow'r and love, Display'd to rebels from above! Do thou, O Lord, my faith increase To love and trust thy plan of grace. Languages: English

The Communicant

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H30.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 30 First Line: How sweet and awful is the place Lyrics: 8 How sweet and awful is the place, With Christ within the doors; While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores! 9 Here ev'ry bowel of our God With soft compassion rolls; Here peace and pardon bought with blood, Is food for dying souls. 10 While all our hearts, and all our songs, Join to admire the feast, Each of us cries, with thankful tongues, "Lord, why was I a guest? 11 "Why was I made to hear thy voice, And enter while there's room; When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come?" 12 'Twas the same love that spread the feast, That sweetly forc'd us in; Else we had still refus'd to taste, And perish'd in our sin. 13 Pity the hypocrites, O Lord, Direct them how to come; Teach them to know and fear thy word, And bring the strangers home. 14 We long to see thy Churches full, That all the chosen race May with one voice, and heart, and soul, Sing thy redeeming grace.

The one Sacrifice of Christ

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H30 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 30 First Line: Jesus, in thee our eyes behold Lyrics: 1 Jesus, in thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more Than the rich gems and polish'd gold The sons of Aaron wore. 2 They first their own burnt-off'rings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all thy nature clean. 3 Fresh blood, as constant as the day, Was on their altar spilt; But thy one off'ring takes away For ever all our guilt. 4 Their priesthood ran thro' several hands, For mortal was their race, Thy never changing office stands Eternal as thy days. 5 Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron with the vail appears, Before the golden throne: 6 But Christ, by his own pow'rful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows his own sacrifice. 7 Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Sion's heav'nly hill; He ever lives who once was slain, And wears his priesthood still.
