Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H22.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 22 First Line: Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound!) Lyrics: 6 Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
7 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
8 Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
9 The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
10 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.
11 There joys unseen by mortal eyes
Or reason's feeble ray,
In ever blooming prospects rise,
Unconscious of decay.
12 Then now, on faith's sumblimest wing,
Let ardent wishes rise
To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring,
Immortal in the skies Languages: English

Hallowed by thy Name
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H47 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 47 First Line: Among the princes, earthly gods Lyrics: 1 Among the princes, earthly gods,
There’s none hath pow'r divine;
Nor is their names or works, O Lord,
Or natures, like to thine.
2 Thy matchless pow'r, thy sov'reign sway,
The nations shall adore;
Their long misguided pray'rs and praise
To thee O God restore.
4 Let all confess thy name and know
The wonders thou hast done;
Let all adore thee, God supreme,
And own thee God alone.
4 While heav'n and all who dwell on high
To thee their voices raise,
Let the whole earth assist the sky,
And join t' advance thy praise.

He descended into Hell
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H16.III (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 16 First Line: And did the holy and the just Lyrics: 11 And did the holy and the just,
The Sov'reign of the skies,
Stoop down to wretchedness and dust,
That guilty worms might rise?
12 Yes, the redeemer in his soul
Sustain'd the pains of hell;
The wrath of God without controul,
On him our surety fell.
13 He took the dying sinner's place,
And suffered in his stead;
For man, (O miracle of grace!)
For man the Saviour bled!
14 Dear Lord, what heav'nly wonders dwell
In thy atoning blood!
By this are sinners snatch'd from hell,
And rebels brought to God.
15 Jesus, my soul, adoring, bends
To love so full, so free;
And may I hope that love extends
It's sacred power to me?
16 What glad return can I impart
For favours so divine?
O take my all — this worthless heart,
And make it only thine. Languages: English
He descended into Hell
Home in view, Amen
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H52.VI (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 52 First Line: As when the weary trav'ller gains Lyrics: 27 As, when the weary trav'ller gains
The height of some o'er-looking hill,
His heart revives, if cross the plains
He eyes his home, tho' distant still.
28 Thus when the christian pilgrim views
By faith, his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
29 The thought of home his spirit cheers,
No more he grieves for troubles past;
Nor any future trial fears,
So he may save arrive at last.
30 'Tis there, he says, I am to dwell
With Jesus, in the realms of day;
Then I shall bid my cares farewel,
And he will wipe my tears away.
31 Jesus, on thee my hope depends,
To lead me on to thine abode;
Assur'd our home will make amends
For all our toil while on the road.
32 Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Amen, Amen.

His faithfulness you cannot doubt;
O crown him Lord of all. Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H21.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 21 First Line: Blest be the tie that bind Lyrics: 5 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds,
Is like to that above.
6 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
7 We share our mutual woes;
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
8 Alli'd to Christ our head,
We act, we grow, and thrive;
Nor will he leave us with the dead,
While he remains alive.
9 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
10 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Thro' all eternity. Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H22 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 22 First Line: Blest Jesus, source of ev'ry grace Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus, source of ev'ry grace,
From far to view thy smiling face,
While absent thus by faith we live,
Exceeds all joys that earth can give.
2 But O! what extacy unknown
Fills the wide circle round thy throne,
Where ev'ry rapt'rous hour appears
Nobler than millions of our years!
3 Millions by millions multiplied,
Shall ne'er thy saints from thee divide;
But the bright legions live and praise
Thro' all thy own immortal days.
4 O happy dead, in thee that sleep,
While o'er their mould'ring dust we weep!
O faithful Saviour, who shalt come
That dust to ransom from the tomb!
5 While thine unerring word imparts
So rich a cordial to our hearts,
Thro' tears our triumphs shall be shown,
Tho' round their graves, and near our own. Languages: English

Eighth Command
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H42 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 42 First Line: Come let us search our ways and try Lyrics: 1 Come let us search our ways and try,
Have they been just and right?
Is the great rule of equity
Our practice and delight?
2 What we would have our neighbour do,
Have we still done the same?
And ne'er delayed to pay his due,
Nor injur'd his good name?
3 In all we sell, in all we buy,
Is justice our design?
Do we remember God is nigh
And fear the wrath divine?
4 In vain we talk of Jesus' blood,
And boast his name in vain,
If we can slight the laws of God,
And prove unjust to men.

A Saviour is necessary
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H5 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 5 First Line: Enslaved by sin and bound in chains Lyrics: 1 Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains
Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway,
And doom'd to everlasting pains,
We wretched guilty captives lay.
2 Nor can our arm procure our peace
Nor all the world's collected store
Suffice to purchase our release;
A thousand worlds were all too poor.
3 A Saviour, man, the mighty God,
A glorious ransom must procure;
Justice divine demands his blood
And nothing less can life insure,
4 Jesus, the man, the mighty God,
This all-sufficient ransom paid:
The Mediator's precious blood
For wretched sinners has been shed.
5 Jesus the sacrifice became,
To rescue guilty souls from hell:
The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb
Beneath avenging justice fell.
6 Amazing justice! love divine!
O may our grateful hearts adore
The matchless grace, nor yield to sin,
Nor wear its cruel fetters more!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

"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.

No more doctrine will suffice;

Naked knowledge all re vain,

Must, and shall BE BORN AGAIN. Languages: English
