O God, may we e'er pure retain
Author: Ludwig Helmbold; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #203 (1908) Topics: The Catechism Catechetical Instruction Lyrics: 1 O God, may we e'er pure retain
The catechismal doctrine pain,
As Luther taught the heavenly truth
In simple style to tender youth.
2 That we Thy holy law may know
And mourn our sin and all its woe,
And yet believe in Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in one.
3 That we may on our Father call,
Who can and will give help to all,
And, washed with water by the Word,
Walk ever worthy of our Lord.
4 That if one fall, he rise again,
And hasten pardon to obtain,
Receive the sacrament in faith,
Amen. Lord, grant a happy death. Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU (Herr Jesu Christ, mein's Leben's Licht)

Reminders from Israel's History
Hymnal: The Psalter #214 (1912) Topics: Children Instruction of First Line: My people, give ear, attend to my word Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word,
In parables new deep truths shall be heard;
The wonderful story our fathers made known
To children succeeding by us must be shown.
2 Unharmed thro' the sea, where perished their foe,
He caused them with ease and safety to go;
His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought
To dwell in the mountain the Lord's hand had bought.
3 He gave them the land, a heritage fair;
The nations that dwelt in wickedness there
He drove out before them with great overthrow,
And gave to His people the tents of the foe.
4 Again they rebelled and tempted the Lord,
Unfaithful they turned to idols abhorred,
And God in His anger withdrew from them then,
No longer delighting to dwell among men.
5 He gave them to death in battle, although
His glory and strength were scorned by the foe;
Their young men were fallen, their maidens unwed,
Their priests slain in battle, none wept for the dead.
6 Then mercy awoke, the Lord in His might
Returned, and his foes were scattered in flight;
Again to His people His favor He showed,
And chose in Mount Zion to fix His abode.
7 His servant he called, a shepherd of sheep,
From tending his flock, the people to keep;
So David, their shepherd, with wisdom and might
Protected and fed them and led them aright. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English Tune Title: STELLA

Attentively give ear;
With willing heart and teachable

2 My mouth shall speak in parables
Of hidden truths of old,
Which, handed down from age to age,
To us our fathers told.

Jehovah's worthy praise,
But tell the greatness of His strength,
His wondrous works and ways.
4 A testimony and a law

And bade our fathers teach their sons,
That they His ways might heed.
5 He willed that each succeeding race
His deeds might learn and know,
That children's children to their sons
Might all these wonders show.

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: HEBER

Our souls shall magnify the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #218 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Instruction from God Lyrics:
Our souls shall magnify the Lord,
In God the Savior we rejoice:
While we repeat the Virgin's song,
May the same Spirit tune our voice!
[The Highest saw her low estate,
And mighty things his hand hath done:
His overshadowing power and grace
Makes her the mother of his Son.
Let ev'ry nation call her blest,
And endless years prolong her fame;
But God alone must be ador'd:
Holy and reverend is his name.]
To those that fear and trust the Lord,
His mercy stands for ever sure:
From age to age his promise lives,
And the performance is secure.
He spake to Abram and his seed,
In thee shall all the earth be blessed;"
The memory of that ancient word
Lay long in his eternal breast.
But now no more shall Isr'el wait,
No more the Gentiles lie forlorn:
Lo, the desire of nations comes;
Behold, the promised seed is born!
Scripture: Luke 1:46 Languages: English
Our souls shall magnify the Lord
Imperfection of Nature, and Perfection of Scripture
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #221b (1740) Topics: Instruction from Scripture First Line: Let all the Heathen Writers join Lyrics: 1 Let all the Heathen Writers join
To form one perfect Book;
Great GOD, if once compar'd with thine,
How mean their Writings look!
2 Not the most perfect Rules they gave
Could shew one Sin forgiv'n,
Nor lead a Step beyond the Grave;
But thine conduct to Heav'n.
3 I've seen an End to what we call
Perfection here below;
How short the Pow'rs of Nature fall,
And can no further go!
4 Yet Men would fain be just with God
By Works their Hands have wrought;
But thy Commands, exceeding broad,
Extend to ev'ry Thought.
5 In vain we boast Perfection here,
While Sin defiles our Frame,
And sinks our Virtues down so far,
They scarce deserve the Name.
6 Our faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace,
Fall far below thy Word;
But perfect Truth and Righteousness
Dwell only with the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 119:96 Languages: English

Sactified Afflictions; or, Delight in the Word of God
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #230 (1740) Topics: Afflicted Instruction by them First Line: Father, I bless thy gentle Hand Lyrics: 1 Father, I bless thy gentle Hand;
How kind was thy chastizing rod,
That forc'd my Conscience to a Stand,
And brought my wand'ring Soul to GOD!
2 Foolish and vain, I went astray
Ere I had felt thy Scourges, Lord;
I left my Guide, and lost my Way;
But now I love and keep thy Word.
3 'Tis good for me to wear the Yoke,
For pride is apt to rise and swell;
'Tis good to bear my Father's Stroke,
That I might learn his Statutes well.
4 The Law that issues from thy Mouth
Shall raise my chearful Passions more
Than all the Treasures of the South,
Or Western Hills of golden Ore.
5 Thy Hands have made my mortal Frame,
Thy Spirit form'd my Soul within;
Teach me to know thy wond'rous Name,
And guard me safe from Death and Sin.
6 Then all that love and fear the Lord
At my Salvation shall rejoice;
For I have hoped in thy Word,
And made thy Grace my only Choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:67 Languages: English

Let children learn the deeds
Let mortal tongues attempt to sing
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #504 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Instruction from God Lyrics:
Let mortal tongues attempt to sing
The wars of heav'n, when Michael stood
Chief general of th' Eternal King,
And fought the battles of our God.
Against the dragon and his host
The armies of the Lord prevail:
In vain they rage, in vain they boast,
Their courage sinks, their weapons fail.
Down to the earth was Satan thrown,
Down to the earth his legions fell;
Then was the trump of triumph blown,
And shook the dreadful deeps of hell.
Now is the hour of darkness past,
Christ has assum'd his reigning power;
Behold the great accuser cast
Down from the skies to rise no more.
'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb,
Thine armies trod the tempter down;
'Twas by thy word and powerful name
They gain'd the battle and renown.
Rejoice, ye heav'ns; let every star
Shine with new glories round the sky;
Saints, while ye sing the heav'nly war,
Raise your Deliv'rer's name on high.
Scripture: Revelation 12:7 Languages: English
Let mortal tongues attempt to sing
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #505 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Instruction from God Lyrics:
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Lies, a fair type of Babylon:
"Prophets, rejoice, and all ye saints,
God shall avenge your long complaints."
He said, and dreadful as he stood,
He sunk the millstone in the flood:
"Thus terribly shall Babel fall,
Thus, and no more be found at all."
Scripture: Revelation 18:20-21 Languages: English
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
