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
Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me
Thy Word, O Lord, is gentle dew
Author: Carl Bernard Garve; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, is gentle dew
To suff'ring hearts that want it;
O shed Thy heav'nly balm anew,
To all Thy garden grant it.
Refreshed by Thee,
May ev'ry tree
Bud forth and blossom to Thy praise,
And bear much fruit in after days.
2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword,
A sharp and mighty arrow,
A wedge that cleaves the rock; that Word
Can pierce through heart and marrow;
O send it forth
O'er all the earth,
The darkened heart to cleanse and win,
And shatter all the might of sin.
3 Thy Word, a wondrous star, supplies
True guidance when we need it;
It points to Christ, it maketh wise
All simple hearts that heed it;
Let not its light
E'er sink in night,
But still in every spirit shine,
That none may miss that light divine. Used With Tune: HOPE (Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan)

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.

Lamb of God! we fall before Thee
Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee,
Humbly trusting in Thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.
2 Thee we own a perfect Savior,
Only source of all that’s good.
Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor
Comes to us through Jesus’ blood.
3 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heav’n;
Whispers this transporting sentence:
"Son thy sins are all forgiven."
4 Faith He grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts His love to prize;
Want we wisdom? He must give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.
5 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what He requires:
Makes us follow His directions,
And what He commands, inspires.
6 All our prayers, and all our praises,
Rightly offered in His name,—
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same. Used With Tune: WILMOT
Lamb of God! we fall before Thee
Lord, Thy word abideth
Author: Henry W. Baker Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Catechism Lyrics:
Lord, thy word abideth,
And our footsteps guideth;
Who its truth believeth
Light and joy receiveth.
When our foes are near us,
Then thy word doth cheer us,
Word of consolation,
Message of salvation.
When the storms are o'er us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then its light directeth,
And our way protecteth.
Who can tell the pleasure,
Who recount the treasure,
By thy word imparted
To the simple-hearted?
Word of mercy, giving
Succor to the living;
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying!
O that we discerning
Its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear thee!
Evermore be near thee!
Amen.

It is though Jesus' precious blood
That we enjoy the heavenly good.

Help us in holiness to live;
Preserve to us, till life is spent,
The Holy Word and Sacrament. Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH
