Baptism

Appears in 107 hymnals Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 26 First Line: 'Twas the commission of our Lord Lyrics: 1 'Twas the commission of our Lord, Go teach the nations, and baptize, The nations have receiv'd the word Since he ascended to the skies. 2 He sits upon th' eternal hills, With grace and pardon in his hands, And sends his cov'nant, with the seals, To bless the distant heathen lands. 3 Repent, and be baptiz'd, he saith, For the remission of your sins: And thus our sense assists our faith, And shews us what his gospel means. 4 Our souls he washes in his blood, As water makes the body clean; And the good Spirit from our God Descends like purifying rain. 5 Thus we engage ourselves to thee, And seal our cov'nant with the Lord; O may the great eternal Three In heav'n our solemn vows record!

The Seventh Command

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 41 First Line: We own, O Lord, thy precept just Lyrics: 1 We own, O Lord, thy precept just Against impure desires and lust, And mourn with grief and hum ble shame Our guilty and polluted frame. 2 In fain would be the rash pretence To plead a faultless innocence; When all our nature is unclean, And soul and body stain'd with sin. 3 But what strong language can express, Their guild and shame, and wretchedness, Who boldly dare their God defy, And with their lusts offend his eye! 4 O wash their souls from this foul sin, And make their guilty conscience clean; Great God create their hearts anew And for their spirits pure and true. 5 Guard us blest Saviour by thy grace, Nor let temptations gain success; Preserve the temples which are thine, That we in holiness may shine.

Prayer

Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 45 First Line: Where is my God? does he retire Lyrics: 1 Where is my God? does he retire Beyond the reach of humble sighs? Are these weak breathings of desire Too languid to ascend the skies? 2 No, Lord, the breathings of desire, The weak petition, if sincere, Is not forbidden to aspire, But reaches thy all-gracious ear. 3 Look up, my soul, with cheerful eye, See where the great Redeemer stands, The glorious advocate on high, With precious incense in his hands. 4 He sweetens every humble groan, He recommends each broken pray'r; Recline thy hope on him alone, Whose power and love forbid despair.

Lord God, to us fore'er secure

Grant us a happy end. Amen.

Hallow every pleasure, Every gift and pain: Be thyself my treasure, Though none else I gain. Give me joy or sadness, This be all my care, That eternal gladness I with thee may share.

The Justice of God

Appears in 8 hymnals 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.

Sanctification on Earth imperfect

Appears in 4 hymnals 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.

The Messiah is come

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 6 First Line: Messiah's come — with joy behold Lyrics: 5 Messiah's come — with joy behold The days by prophets long foretold: Judah, thy royal sceptre's broke, And time still proves what Jacob spoke. 6 Daniel, thy weeks are all expir'd, The time prophetic seals requir'd; Cut off for sins, but not his own, Thy prince Messiah did atone. 7 The famous temple, Solomon, Is by the latter far out-shone: It wanted not thy glittering store, Messiah's presence grac'd it more. 8 We see the prophecies fulfill'd In Jesus that most wond'rous child: His birth, his life, his death combine To prove his character divine. 9 Jesus, thy gospel firmly stands A blessing to these favor'd lands: No infidel shall be our dread, Since thou art risen from the dead.
