Thou Art My Portion, Lord
Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 9th Commandment (do not bear false witness) Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, Lord;
thy words I ever heed;
with all my heart thy grace I seek,
thy promises I plead.
2 I thought upon my ways,
thy testimonies learned;
with earnest haste, and waiting not,
to thy commands I turned.
3 While snares beset my path,
thy law I keep in view;
at midnight I will give thee praise
for all thy judgments true.
4 All those who fear thy name
shall my companions be;
thy mercy fills the earth, O Lord;
thy statutes teach thou me. Scripture: Psalm 119:57-64 Used With Tune: CARLISLE
Thou Art My Portion, Lord
Judges Who Rule the World by Laws
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 8th Commandment (You shall not give false witness) Lyrics: 1 Judges, who rule the world by laws,
will you despise the righteous cause,
when in your court poor victims stand?
Dare you condemn the righteous poor,
and let rich crooks escape secure,
while gold and greatness bribe your hand?
2 Have you forgot, or never knew
that God will judge the judges too?
High in the heav'ns his justice reigns;
yet you invade the rights of God
and send your bold decrees abroad,
to bind the conscience in your chains.
3 A poisoned arrow is your tongue,
the arrow sharp, the poison strong,
and death attends where'er it wounds:
you hear no counsels, cries, or tears,
just as the cobra stops her ears
against the pow'r of charming sounds.
4 Break out their teeth, eternal God—
those teeth of lions dyed in blood—
and crush the serpents in the dust:
as empty chaff when whirlwinds rise
before the sweeping tempest flies,
so let their hopes and names be lost.
5 Th' Almighty thunders from the sky,
their grandeur melts, their titles die,
as hills of snow dissolve and run,
or snails that perish in their slime,
or births that come before their time,
vain births, that never see the sun.
6 Thus shall the vengeance of the LORD
true peace and joy to saints afford,
and all that hear shall join and say,
"There is a God who rules on high,
a God who hears his children cry,
and will their suff'rings well repay." Scripture: Psalm 58 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

Unless the LORD the House Shall Build
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 4th Commandment (Honor your father and mother) Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord the house shall build,
the weary builders toil in vain;
unless the LORD the city shield,
the guards a useless watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise at morning break,
in vain your late-night vigils keep,
and draining days of work partake—
those whom God loves fall fast asleep.
3 Yes, children are a great reward,
a gift from God in very truth;
as quiver full of arrows stored
are children giv'n in days of youth.
4 How blest are those whose lives are cheered
by children's growth in strength and grace.
Within their house no foes are feared,
for God keeps watch within that place. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Have mercy, Lord
Meter: 8.8.8.7.4 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Catechism Ten Commandments First Line: That man a godly life might live Lyrics: 1 THAT man a godly life might live,
God did these ten commandments give
By His true servant Moses, high
Upon the mount Sinai.
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!
Have mercy, Lord

LORD, to You We Lift Our Voices
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Ten Commandments 1st Commandment (You shall have no other gods) Lyrics: 1 LORD, to you we lift our voices,
sing to praise your glorious might;
see, th'anointed king rejoices!
In your strength is his delight:
heart's desires, heartfelt prayers,
he finds favor in your sight.
2 LORD, you welcomed him with blessing,
purest gold his head has crowned;
life forever, days unceasing,
in your presence joys abound:
his the glory, his the vict'ry,
for in him true faith is found.
3 So this king will not be shaken,
held in love by God Most High;
by your hand your foes are taken,
at your coming they shall die:
fire consuming all their scheming,
all their hopes you will destroy.
4 In your strength, O LORD, uplifted,
you will rid this earth of wrongs.
With your wealth your king is gifted;
take the praises of our songs:
Son of David, high-ascended,
ev'ry pow'r to Christ belongs!

Make Music to the LORD Most High
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 3rd Commandment (Remember the Sabbath) Lyrics: 1 Make music to the LORD Most High,
whose praise is our delight:
we sing your love as day begins,
your faithfulness by night.
LORD, when we see all you have done,
our songs of joy resound:
your handiwork, how vast it is,
your counsels, how profound!
2 The godless mind will never know,
because its sense is void,
that though the wicked spread like grass,
they all shall be destroyed.
Forever, LORD, you are supreme,
your throne remains on high,
while rebels meet eternal doom
and evildoers die.
3 But like the cedar and the palm,
the righteous stand serene;
they flourish in the house of God,
their leaves are fresh and green.
To fruitful age they still proclaim
the LORD who makes them new—
our God, in whom no wrong is found,
my rock, forever true. Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
