O Great High Priest! forget me not
Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D.; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Confirmation Lyrics: 1 O great High Priest! forget not me,
Though I have oft forgotten Thee,
But give me strength for all the strife,
And all the toil and pain of life.
2 Let not a wav'ring heart be mine,
That is the world's and would be Thine;
May I in faith Thy promise hold,
And never wander from Thy fold.
3 Let me not crave the wealth of earth,
Its honors and its giddy mirth,
But still remember I am Thine,
And be content that Thou art mine.
4 Thou hast redeemed me with Thy blood,
And washed me in the mystic flood;
Let not this grace be all in vain,
Nor let me pierce Thy side again.
5 To Thee I humbly raise mine eyes,
Do not my sinful soul despise;
Perfect the work Thou hast begun,
And let Thy saving will be done. Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET
O Great High Priest! forget me not
Wilt thou, O man, live happily
Author: Dr. M. Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Decalogue Lyrics: 1 Wilt thou, O man, live happily,
And dwell with God eternally,
The Ten Commandments keep, for thus
Our God Himself commanded us.
2 I am the Lord, Thy God, take heed
No other god doth thee mislead:
Thy heart shall trust alone in Me,
Yea, Mine own kingdom shalt thou be.
3 Honor My Name in word and deed,
And call on Me in time of need:
And sanctify the holy day
That work in thee I also may.
4 Obedient always, next to Me,
To father and to mother be;
Kill no man, even anger dread:
Keep undefiled thy marriage bed.
5 Steal not, nor do thy neighbor wrong
By bearing witness with false tongue:
Thy neighbor's wife desire thou not,
Nor grudge him aught that he has got. Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH
Wilt thou, O man, live happily
The law of God is good and wise
Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And dead in sin and woe remain;
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sin to die,
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone. Used With Tune: RETREAT
The law of God is good and wise
Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me
Author: Johann Scheffler (Angelus Silesius); Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me,
Thy spirit steep me all in Thee;
Thy body, pierc'd by ruthless steel,
My wretched soul and body heal.
2 The water from Thy side that poured,
For me a cleansing bath afford,
And all Thy blood, with life divine,
Revive these sluggish powers of mine.
3 The bloody sweat upon Thy face
Deliver me from death's embrace,
And all Thy passion, cross, and pain,
With strength my feebleness sustain.
4 O Christ! turn not away from me,
Accept and hide me quite in Thee,
Within Thy holy wounds enclose,
And keep me safe when foes oppose.
5 In death's dark hour with me abide,
And place me, Savior! at Thy side,
Where all Thy blessed saints on high
To sing Thy praise, and never die. Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET Text Sources: Latin of the 14th Century

O faithful God, thanks be to Thee
Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Rev. C. H. L. Schuette, D. D. Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Absolution Lyrics: 1 O faithful God, thanks be to Thee
That Thou forgiv'st iniquity,
And helpest me in sin's distress,
And dost my soul and body bless.
2 By servant Thine Thou say'st to me:
"My child, thy sin's forgiven thee!
Depart in peace, and sin no more
And e'er my pard'ning grace adore."
3 Yea, Lord, we bless the wondrous grace,
That granteth us this joyful peace;
It is though Jesus' precious blood
That we enjoy the heavenly good.
4 Now, Lord, us all Thy Spirit give,
Help us in holiness to live;
Preserve to us, till life is spent,
The Holy Word and Sacrament. Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

The eternal Son of God took upon him the very Nature of Man
Appears in 82 hymnals 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.
The eternal Son of God took upon him the very Nature of Man
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 552 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd’s care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noon-day walks He shall attend
And all my midnight hours defend.
2 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Th'abyss of many a former sin
Author: Joseph of the Studium; John Mason Neale Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Repentance Lyrics: 1 Th' abyss of many a former sin
Encloses me and bears me in:
Like billows my transgressions roll:
Be Thou the Pilot of my soul;
And to salvation’s harbor bring,
Thou Saviour and Thou glorious King!
2 My Father’s heritage abused,
Wasted by lust, by sin misused;
To shame and want and mis'ry brought,
The slave to many a godless thought,
I cry to Thee, who lovest men,
O pity and receive again!
3 In hunger now and dispossessed
Of that my portion bright and blessed,
The exile and the alien see,
Who yet would fain return to Thee.
Accept me Lord, I seek Thy grace,
And let me see a Father's face.
4 With that saved thief my prayer I make,
Remember for Thy mercy’s sake!
With that poor publican I cry,
Be Merciful, O God most high!
With that lost Prodigal I fain
Back to my home would turn again!
5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care,
And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:—
O Thou, who freely wast made poor,
My sorrows and my sins to cure,
Me, poor of all good works, embrace,
Enriching with Thy boundless grace! Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
Th'abyss of many a former sin
There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 693 hymnals Topics: Catechism Lyrics:
There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified
Who died to save us all.
We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains he had to bear,
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by his precious blood.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
O dearly, dearly has he loved!
And we must love him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.
Used With Tune: MEDITATION
