Second Command
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H35 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 35 First Line: Thou art, O God! a spirit pure Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O God! a spirit pure,
Invisible to mortal eyes;
Th' immortal, and th' eternal King,
The great, the good, the only wise.
2 Whilst nature changes, and her works
Corrupt, decay, dissolve, and die,
Thy essence pure no change shall see,
Secure of immortality.
3 Thou great Invisible! what hand
Can draw thy image spotless fair?
To what in heav'n, to what on earth,
Can men th' immortal King compare?
4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods
Of gold and silver, wood and stone;
Ours is the God that made the heav'ns;
JEHOVAH HE, and God alone.
5 My soul, thy purest homage pay,
In truth and spirit him adore;
More shall this please than sacrifice
Than outward forms, delight him more. Languages: English

Thy robes are light and majesty;
Thy pow'r is sov'reign to fulfil
The holy counsels of thy will.

As 'tis in heav'n; thy grace bestow
On us and all, may we and they
Renounce our wills, and thine obey.
3 While all the hosts of heaven rejoice
To yield obedience to thy voice;
In constancy, and zeal, and love,
May we resemble those above. Languages: English

Sixth Command
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H40 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Sixth Command First Line: Tho', Lord, our hands have not been stain'd Lyrics: 1 Tho', Lord, our hands have not been stain'd
With human blood, by thee restrain'd,
Yet O what seeds of murder wrought
In each revengeful word or thought!
2 Condemen'd, we fall before thy face,
Our only refuge is thy grace;
O wash our souls from ev'ry sin,
And make our guilty conscience clean.
3 Let clamour, wrath and war begone,
Let bitter words no more be known;
Envy and spite forever cease,
Among the saints, the sons of peace. Languages: English

The Lord will provide
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H10.II (1789) Topics: Heidleberg Catechism Lord's Day 10 First Line: Though trouble assail Lyrics: 7 Tho' troubles assail,
Aand dangers affright,
Tho' friends should all fail,
And foes all unite:
Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide,
The promise assures us,
The Lord will provide.
8 The birds without barn
Or storehouse are fed;
From them let us learn
To trust for our bread:
His saints what is fitting,
Shall ne'er be deny'd,
So long as 'tis written,
The Lord will provide.
9 We may, like the ships,
By tempests be tost
On perilous deeps,
But cannot be lost:
Tho' satan enrages.
The wind and the tide,
The promise engages,
The Lord will provide.
10 His call we obey,
Like Abra'm of old;
We knowing oure way,
But faith makes us bold;
For tho' we are strangers,
We have a good guide,
And trust in all dangers,
The Lord will provide.
11 When satan appears
To stop up our path,
And fill us with fears,
We triumph by faith;
He cannot take from us
Tho' oft he has try'd,
The heart-cheering promise,
The Lord will provide.
12 He tells us we're weak,
Our hope is in vain,
The good that we seek,
We ne'er shall obtain;
But when such suggestions
Our spirits have ply'd
This answers all questions,
The Lord will provide.
13 No strength of our own,
Or goodness we claim,
Yet since we have known
The Saviour's great name;
In this our strong tower
For safety we hide,
The Lord is our power,
The Lord will provide.
14 When life sinks apace,
And death is in view,
The word of his grace
Shall comfort us thro':
No fearing nor doubting
With Christ on our side,
We hope to die shouting,
The Lord will provide.

Give us this day our daily Bread
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H50 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 50 First Line: Thro' all the various shifting scene Lyrics: 1 Thro' all the various shifting scene
Of life's mistaken ill or good;
Thy hand, O God, conducts unseen
The beautiful vicissitude.
2 Thou givest with paternal care,
Howe'er unjustly we complain,
To each their necessary share
Of joy and sorrow, health and pain.
3 Trust we to youth, or friends, or power,
Fix we on this terrestrial ball?
When most secure, the coming hour,
If thou see fit, may blast them all.
4 When lowest sunk with grief and shame,
Fill'd with affliction's bitter cup,
Lost to relations, friends, and fame,
Thy pow'rful hand can raise us up.
5 Thy pow'rful consolations cheer,
Thy smiles suppress the deep-fetch'd sigh,
Thy hand can dry the trickling tear
That secret wets the orphan's eye.
6 Thus far sustain'd, and cloath'd and fed,
Through life's tumultuous scenes we've come;
Give us this day our daily bread,
And lead and bring us safely home. Languages: English
Give us this day our daily Bread
Temptation
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H52 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 52 First Line: Thus far my God hath led me on Lyrics: 1 Thus far my God hath led me on,
And made his truth and mercy known;
My hopes and fears alternate rise,
And comforts mingle with my sighs.
2 Thro' this wide wilderness I roam,
Far distant from my blissful home;
Lord, let thy presence be my stay,
And guard me in this dangerous way.
3 Temptations every where annoy,
And sins and snares my peace destroy;
My earthly joys are from me torn,
And oft an absent God I mourn.
4 My soul, with various tempests toss'd,
Her hopes o'erturn'd, her projects cross'd,
Sees every day new straits attend,
And wonders where the scene will end.
5 Is this, dear Lord, that thorny road,
Which leads us to the mount of God?
Are these the toils thy people know,
While in the wilderness below?
6 'Tis even so, thy faithful love
Doth all thy children's graces prove;
'Tis thus our pride and self must fall,
That Jesus may be all in all.

Temptation
Infant Baptism
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H27 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 27 First Line: Thus saith the mercy of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the mercy of the Lord,
I'll be a God to thee;
I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they,
Shall be a seed to me.
2 Abrah'm believ'd the promis'd grace,
And gave his child to God;
But water seals the blessing now,
That once was seal'd with blood.
3 Jesus the antient faith confirms
To our great Father's giv'n;
He takes young children in his arms
And calls them heirs of heav'n.
4 Our God, how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same:
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the childrens name.
5 With the same blessing grace endows
The Gentile and the Jew;
If pure and holy be the root,
Such are the branches too.
6 Then let the children of the saints
Be dedicate to God;
Pour out thy Spirit on them, Lord!
And wash them in thy blood.
7 Thus to the parents and their seed
Shall thy salvations come,
And num'rous housholds meet at last
In one enternal home.
8 Thy later saints, eternal King!
This precious truth embrace;
To thee their infant offspring bring,
And humbly claim thy grace. Languages: English
Infant Baptism
The Resurrection of Christ
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H17 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 17 First Line: 'Tis finish'd, the Redeemer cries Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd, the Redeemer cries,
Then lowly bows his fainting head;
And soon th' expiring sacrifice
Sinks, to the regions of the dead.
2 'Tis done - the mighty work is done!
For men and angels much too great;
Which none, but God's eternal Son,
Or would attempt, or could complete.
3 'Tis done — old things are past away,
And a new state of things begun;
A kingdom which shall ne'er dceay,
But shall out-last the circling sun.
4 A new account of time begins,
Now our dear Lord resumes his breath,
Charg'd with our sorrows and our sins,
Our lives to ransom by his death.
5 Once he was dead, but now he reigns
He lies, he lives, he lives gain;
Let's tell our joys in pious strains,
And spread the glory of his name.

The Trinity
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H8 (1789) Topics: Heidleberg Catechism Lord's Day 8 First Line: To comprehend the Three in One Lyrics: 1 To comprehend the Three in One
Is more than highest angels can;
Or what the Trinity has done
From death and hell to ransom man.
2 But all believers this may boast
(A truth from nature never learn'd)
That Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To save our souls are all concern'd.
3 The Father's love in this we find;
He made his Son our sacrifice.
The Son in love his life resign'd.
The Holy Ghost this blood applies.
4 Thus we the Trinity can praise
One only God, thro' Christ our King;
Our grateful hearts and voices raise
In faith and love; while thus we sing;
5 Glory to God the Father be;
Because he sent his Son to die.
Glory to God the Son; that he
Did with such willingness comply.
6 Glory to God the Holy Ghost,
Who to our hearts this love reveals.
Thus God three-one to sinners lost
Salvation sends, procures, and seals. Languages: English

The Lord's Supper
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H28 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 28 First Line: 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night Lyrics: 1 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night
When pow'rs of earth and hell arose
Against the Son of God's delight,
And friends betray'd him to his foes:
2 Before the mournful scene began,
He took the bread, and bless'd, and brake;
What love thro' all his actions ran!
What wondrous words of grace he spake!
3 This is my bod, broke for sin,
Receive and eat the living food;
Then took the cup, and bless'd the wine;
'Tis the new cov'nant in my blood.
4 Do this (he cry'd) till time shall end,
In mem'ry of your dying friend:
Meet at my table, and record
The love of your departed Lord.
5 Jesus, the feast we'll celebrate,
We'll seow thy death, we'll sing thy name,
Till thou return, and we shall eat
The marriage supper of the Lamb. Languages: English
