Instruction from Scripture
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #212 (1786) Topics: Law of God Delight in in; Law of God Delight in in First Line: How shall the young secure their hearts Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind,
It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.
3 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.
4 The men that keep thy law with care,
And meditate thy word,
Grow wiser than their teachers are,
And better know the Lord.
5 Thy precepts make me truly wise:
I hate the sinner's road;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,
But love thy law, my God.
6 [The starry heavens thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these thy servants night and day
Thy skill and power express.
7 But still thy law, and gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than thy word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.]
8 Thy word is everlasting truth
How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #276 (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Law of God; Law of God Lyrics: 1 Teach me, O Lord, your way of truth,
and from it I will not depart;
that I may steadfastly obey,

for in your law my joy shall be;
give me a heart that loves your will,
from discontent and envy free.
3 Your word sheds light upon my path;
a shining light, it guides my feet;
your righteous judgments to observe,
my solemn vow I now repeat.
4 Your wondrous testimonies, Lord,
my soul will keep and greatly praise;
your word, by faithful lips proclaimed,
to simplest minds the truth conveys.
5 I thirst for your commandments, Lord,
and for your mercy press my claim;
O look on me and show the grace
displayed to all who love your name.

Salvation unto Us Has Come
Author: Paul Speratus Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #430 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Law of God Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come
by God’s free grace and favor.
Our works cannot avert our doom;
the law can save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
who for his people did atone;
he is our one Redeemer.
2 What God did in his law demand
and none to him could render
caused wrath and woe on ev'ry hand
for man, the vile offender.
Our flesh has not the pure desires
God's holy law of us requires,
and lost is our condition.
3 It was a false, misleading dream
that God his law had given
so sinners could themselves redeem
and by their works gain heaven.
The law is just a mirror bright
to bring the inbred sin to light
that lurks within our nature.
4 From sin our flesh could not abstain;
sin held its sway unceasing.
The task was hopeless and in vain;
our guilt was e’er increasing.
None can remove sin’s poisoned dart
or purify our guileful heart,
so deep is our corruption.
5 Yet as the law must be fulfilled
or we must die despairing,
Christ Jesus came; God’s wrath he stilled,
our human nature sharing.
The law he has for us obeyed
and thus the Father’s vengeance stayed
which over us had rulèd.
6 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
to Father, Son, and Spirit,
the God who saved us by his grace--
all glory to his merit!
O triune God in heav’n above,
who has revealed your saving love,
your blessèd name be hallowed. Scripture: Romans 3:21-31 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST DAS HEIL

Psalm 119 Part 5
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.268 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Delight in the law of God; Law of God delight in it First Line: O how I love thy holy law! Lyrics:
O how I love thy holy law!
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.
My waking eyes prevent the day
To meditate thy word;
My soul with longing melts away
To hear thy gospel, Lord.
How doth thy word my heart engage!
How well employ my tongue!
And in my tiresome pilgrimage,
Yields me a heav'nly song.
Am I a stranger or at home,
'Tis my perpetual feast;
Not honey dropping from the comb
So much allures the taste.
No treasures so enrich the mind;
Nor shall thy word be sold
For loads of silver well refined,
Nor heaps of choicest gold.
When nature sinks, and spirits droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are pillars to support my hope,
And there I write thy praise.

Psalm 119 Part 5
How Blest Are They Who, Fearing God
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #1 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Law of God; Law of God Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who, fearing God,
from sin restrain their feet,
who will not with the wicked stand,
who shun the scorner's seat.
2 How blest are they who make God's law
their treasure and delight,
and meditate upon that word
with gladness day and night.
3 Their lives are nourished like a tree
set by the river's side
its leaf is green, its fruit is sure:
so all their works abide.
4 The wicked, like the driven chaff,
are blown across the land;
they shall not gather with the just,
nor in the judgment stand.
5 The LORD will guard the righteous well,
their way to him is known;
the way of sinners, far from God,
shall surely be o'erthrown.

O Come, Ye People, to My Law
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #159 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Law of God Lyrics: 1 O come, my people, to my law
Attentively give ear;
With willing heart and teachable
The words of wisdom hear.
My mouth shall speak in parables
Of hidden truths of old,
Which, handed down from age to age,
To us our fathers told.
2 We will not from their children hide
Jehovah's worthy praise,
But tell the greatness of His strength,
His wondrous works and ways.
A testimony and a law
The Lord our God decreed,
And bade our fathers teach their sons,
That they His ways might heed.
3 He willed that each succeeding race
His deeds might learn and know,
That children's children to their sons
Might all these wonders show.
Let children learn God's righteous ways
And on Him stay their heart,
That they may not forget His works
Nor from His ways depart. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English Tune Title: PONTRESINA
O Come, Ye People, to My Law
