I have found treasure in your instruction. 4 Joy comes to nations knowing your judgments; keeping them brings us close to your kingdom-- laws that spell freedom, true liberation. 5 My heart is listening for you each morning, never desert me; speak in the nighttime; open my eyes, Lord, then lead me onward. 6 Put right my passions by your clear precept, quell my rebellions, rescue me quickly: raise and restore me, mighty Redeemer. 7 Savior whose Spirit gave us the Scriptures, train me to trust them when I am tempted; unless you helped me, I would go under. 8 Vain are my own ways; yours in the victory.

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 9th Commandment (do not bear false witness) Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor, have mercy when I pray: you listened to my prayer before-- LORD, hear my prayer today! you listened to my prayer before-- LORD, hear my prayer today! 2 How long will people choose vain things, love empty words and wrong? They scorn to serve the King of kings-- O living God, how long? They scorn to serve the King of kings-- O living God, how long? 3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart by grace to be your own: let sinners tremble, search their hearts, and bow before your throne; let sinners tremble, search their hearts, and bow before your throne. 4 While many pray that you will bless and bring them all they need, unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed; unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed. 5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive; your face within us shine, for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine; for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine. 6 And even when I turn to sleep your blessings still increase, for you alone, O LORD, will keep your child in perfect peace; for you alone, O LORD, will keep your child in perfect peace.

Have mercy, Lord! 2 I am Thy God and Lord alone, No other God before me own; Put Thy whole confidence in me, And love me e’er cordially. Have mercy, Lord! 3 By idle word and speech profane Take not my holy name in vain, And praise but that as good and true Which I myself say and do. Have mercy, Lord! 4 Hallow the day which God hath blest, That thou and all thy house may rest; Keep hand and heart from labor free, That God may so work in thee. Have mercy, Lord! 5 Give to thy parents honor due, Be dutiful, and loving too, And help them when their strength decays, So shalt thou have length of days. Have mercy, Lord! 6 In sinful wrath thou shalt not kill, Nor hate, nor render ill for ill; Be patient and of gentle mood, And to thy foe do thou good. Have mercy, Lord! 7 Be faithful to thy marriage vows, Thy heart give only to thy spouse; Thy life keep pure, and lest thou sin, Use temp'rance and discipline, Have mercy, Lord! 8 Steal not; all usury abhor, Nor wring their life-blood from the poor; But open wide thy loving hand To all the poor in the land. Have mercy, Lord! 9 Bear not false witness, nor belie Thy neighbor by foul calumny; Defend his innocence from blame, With charity hide his shame. Have mercy, Lord! 10 Thy neighbor’s house desire thou not, His wife, nor aught that he hath got, But wish that his such good may be, As thy heart doth wish for thee. Have mercy Lord! 11 God these commandments gave, therein To show thee, child of man, thy sin, And make thee also well perceive, How man unto God should live. Have mercy, Lord! 12 Help us, Lord Jesus Christ, for we A mediator have in Thee; Our works cannot salvation gain, They merit but endless pain. Have mercy, Lord!
