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

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.

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

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 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

Baptism
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H26 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 26 First Line: 'Twas the commission of our Lord Lyrics: 1 'Twas the commission of our Lord,
Go teach the nations, and baptize,
The nations have receiv'd the word
Since he ascended to the skies.
2 He sits upon th' eternal hills,
With grace and pardon in his hands,
And sends his cov'nant, with the seals,
To bless the distant heathen lands.
3 Repent, and be baptiz'd, he saith,
For the remission of your sins:
And thus our sense assists our faith,
And shews us what his gospel means.
4 Our souls he washes in his blood,
As water makes the body clean;
And the good Spirit from our God
Descends like purifying rain.
5 Thus we engage ourselves to thee,
And seal our cov'nant with the Lord;
O may the great eternal Three
In heav'n our solemn vows record!

Conviction of Sin and Misery by the Law
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H2 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lords Day 2 First Line: Vain are the hopes the sons of men Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes the sons of men,
On their own works have built;
Their hearts by nature all unclean,
And all their actions guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths,
Without a murm'ring word,
And the whole race of Adam stand
Guilty before the Lord.
3 In vain we ask God's righteous law
To justify us now,
Since to convince, and to condemn,
Is all the law can do.
4 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace,
When in thy name we trust!
Our faith receives a righteousness
That makes the sinner just.

The Church
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H21 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 21 First Line: We are a garden wall'd around Lyrics: 1 We are a garden wall'd around,
Chosen, and made peculiar ground;
A little spot, enclos'd by grace,
Out of the world's wide wilderness.
2 Like trees of myrrh and spice, we stand,
Planted by God the Father's hand;
And all his springs in Sion flow,
To make the young plantation grow.
3 Awake, O heav'nly wind, and come,
Blow on this garden of perfume;
Spirit divine, descend, and breathe
A gracious gale on plants beneath.
4 Make our best spices flow abroad,
To entertain our Saviour God:
And faith, and love, and joy appear,
And every grace be active here.

The Seventh Command
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H41 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 41 First Line: We own, O Lord, thy precept just Lyrics: 1 We own, O Lord, thy precept just
Against impure desires and lust,
And mourn with grief and hum ble shame
Our guilty and polluted frame.
2 In fain would be the rash pretence
To plead a faultless innocence;
When all our nature is unclean,
And soul and body stain'd with sin.
3 But what strong language can express,
Their guild and shame, and wretchedness,
Who boldly dare their God defy,
And with their lusts offend his eye!
4 O wash their souls from this foul sin,
And make their guilty conscience clean;
Great God create their hearts anew
And for their spirits pure and true.
5 Guard us blest Saviour by thy grace,
Nor let temptations gain success;
Preserve the temples which are thine,
That we in holiness may shine. Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H44 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 44 First Line: Whate'er thy lot on earth may be Lyrics: 1 Whate'er thy lot on earth may be
let it contentment yield to thee;
Nor others envy, nor repine,
Nor covet ought that is not thine.
2 Justly hast thou forbidden, Lord,
each murm'ring motion, thought, or word;
Justly requiring full content
With what thy providence hath lent.
3 But who can here lift up his eye
Before the Lord of hosts on high,
And say," this precept I've obey'd,
Nor from it ever turn'd aside?"
4 Alive without thy law I stood,
And thought my state was safe and good;
But when with pow'r this precept came,
I saw my sin, and guilt, and shame.
5 Lord I adore thy saving live,
Which did from me the curse remove,
By hanging on the accursed tree,
And being made a curse for me! Languages: English
