First Command
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H34 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 34 First Line: Eternal God! Almighty cause Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! Almighty cause
Of earth and seas and worlds unknown;
All things are subject to thy laws;
All things depend on thee alone.
2 Thy glorious Being singly stands,
Of all within itself possest;
Control'd by none are thy commands;
Thou from thyself alone art blest.
3 To thee alone ourselves we owe;
Let heav'n and earth due homage pay;
All other gods we disavow,
Deny their claims, renounce their sway.
4 Spread thy great name thro' heathen lands;
Each idol-deities dethrone;
Reduce the world to thy command
And reign, as thou art, God alone Languages: English
First Command
The Justice of God
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H4 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 4 First Line: Eternal King, the greatest, best Lyrics: 1 Eternal King! the greatest, best,
For ever glorious, ever blest;
The great I AM, Jehovah, Lord,
By seraphim and saint ador'd.
2 Exalted in perfections bright,
Too dazzlihg far for mortal sight,
Thou reign'st supreme o'er those who dwell
In heav'n above, on earth, or hell.
3 Thy creatures all on thee depend
Their beings author, and their end;
The God who made, upholds them still
And rules them by his sov'reign will.
4 Tho' cloth'd with majesty and might,
The judge of all the world does right,
In equal balance holds the scale
Where truth and equity prevail.
5 Justice, the firm foundation lays,
Of all thy laws, thy works, and ways;
Obedient souls will ever find
A God that's faithful, loving, kind.
6 But he who sins, must die accurs'd,
A God all mercy is unjust;
Curs'd is the man who dares withdraw
Obedience from thy holy law.
7 Where then great God, or how shall we
Approach thy dreadful majesty!
Thy sacred law we oft have broke,
And stand obnoxious to thy stroke.
8 But O thou holy, just, and true!
Tho' justice must have all its due,
Thou can's be just, yet justify,
The soul that doth on Christ rely.
9 O boundless wisdom, love, and pow'r!
Thy matchless mercy we adore,
That found out this amazing plan
To save thy ruin'd creature man.
10 We plead the suff'rings of thy Son,
We plead his righteousness alone;
He bore the curse, whence thou art just
In pard'ning those who were accurs'd.

Honour to Magistrates
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H39.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 39 First Line: Eternal Sov'reign of the sky Lyrics: 4 Eternal Sov'reign of the sky,
And Lord of all below,
We mortals to thy majesty
Our first obedience owe.
5 Our souls adore thy throne supreme,
And bless thy providence,
For magistrates of various name,
Our glory and defence.
6 Where laws and liberty combine
To make the nation bless'd;
There magistrates with lustre shine,
And States are govern'd best.
7 Nations on firm foundations stand,
While virtue finds reward;
And sinners perish from the land
By justice and the sword.
8 To magistrates be honour paid,
To laws obedience shown;
But consciences and souls were made
To be the Lord's alone. Languages: English

God the Holy Ghost
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H20 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 20 First Line: Eternal Spirit! we confess Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit! we confess
And sing the wonders of Thy grace;
Thy pow'r conveys our blessings down
From God the Father and the Son.
2 Enlighten'd by thine heav'nly ray,
Our shades and darkness turn to day;
We learn the meaning of thy word,
And find salvation in the Lord.
3 Thy pow'r and glory works within,
And breaks the chains of reigning sin.
Doth our imperious lusts subdue,
And forms our wretched hearts a-new.
4 The troubled conscience knows thy voice,
Thy cheering words awake our joys;
Thy words allay the stormy wind,
And calm the surges of the mind.

Providence
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H10 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 10 First Line: God moves in a mysterious way Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain. Languages: English

The eternal Son of God took upon him the very Nature of Man
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H14.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 14 First Line: God with us! O glorious name! Lyrics: 4 God with us! O glorious name!
Let it shine in endless fame:
God and man in Christ unite,
O mysterious depth and height!
5 God with us! th' eternal Son
Took our soul, our flesh and bone.
Now, ye saints, his grace admire,
Swell the song with holy fire.
6 God with us! but tainted not
With the first transgressors' blot;
Yet did he our sins sustain,
Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain.
7 God with us! O wond'rous grace!
Let us see him face to face,
That we may Immanuel sing,
As we ought, our God and King.

Sanctification on Earth imperfect
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H44.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 44 First Line: Grace has enabled me to love Lyrics: 6 Grace has enabled me to love
Thy holy law and will,
But sin has not yet ceas'd to move,
It tyrannizes still.
7 Hence often fill'd with dread alarms,
My peace and joy subside,
And I'v employ for all the arms
The gospel has supply'd.
8 Thus diff'rent powers within me strive,
While opposites I feel,
I grieve, rejoice, decline, revive,
As sin or grace prevail.
9 But Jesus hath his promise past;
Sin with the body dies,
And grace in all his saints at last
Shall gain its victories. Languages: English

Fifth command
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H39 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 39 First Line: Great Source of order, Maker wise! Lyrics: 1 Great source of order, Maker wise!
Whose throne is high above the skies;
We praise thy name; thy laws ordain,
That order shall on earth obtain.
2 Let each inferior rank revere
All such as their superiors are;
And let superiors also do
What's right by each inferior too.
3 To thee may each united house,
At morn and night present its vows;
O may each family proclaim
The honours of thy glorious name. Languages: English

The Mediator born for gloirious Purposes
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H14.III (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 14 First Line: Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour's come! Lyrics: 8 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour's come!
The Saviour promis'd long!
Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
And ev'ry voice a song.
9 On him the Spirit largely pour'd
Exerts its sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love
His holy breast inspire.
10 He comes the pris'ners to release,
In satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
11 He comes from thickest films of vice
To clear the mental ray,
And on the eye-balls of the blind
To pour celestial day.
12 He comes the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And, with his righteousness and grace,
T' enrich the humble poor.
13 His gospel trumpets publish loud
The jub'lee of the Lord;
His people are redeemed and now,
Their heritage resto'd.
14 Our glad Hosannas, Prince of peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heav'n's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name.

We must be Born again
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H3.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lords Day 3 First Line: Hear the terms that never vary Lyrics: 10 Hear the terms that never vary,
"To repent and to believe;"
Both of these are necessary,
Both from Jesus we receive.
O then sinner duly ponder
These, in thine impartial mind:
And ne'er think to put asunder
What the Lord has wisely join'd.
11 No high words of ready talkers,
No more doctrine will suffice;
Broken hearts and humble walkers,
These are dear in Jesu's eyes.
Tinkling sounds of disputation,
Naked knowledge all re vain,
Ev'ry soul that gains salvation
Must, and shall BE BORN AGAIN. Languages: English
We must be Born again
