When Israel Fled from Egypt Land
The great command Jehovah gave
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: On The Ten Commandments of God Lyrics: 1 The great command Jehovah gave,
No other Gods but only me
Shall ye my chosen People have,
Your only trust in me shall be.
2 No graven image shall ye make,
Nor to such helpless creatures bow;
Nor them for your salvation take,
As the blind savage nations do.
3 Ye shall not take my Name in vain,
I am your just and holy Lord;
Unpunish'd ye cannot remain
Who thus profane my sacred word.
4 Remember well the Sabbath-day,
It is the day I have ordain'd
For men to spend in such a way;
That saving knowledge may be gain'd.
5 Honour thy parents with delight,
And help and succour them always;
For that is lawful just and right;
Thou shalt be blest with length of days.
6 Thy fellow-man thou shalt not kill,
For Satan was a murd'rer first;
All murd'rers do the Devil's will,
And like the devils shall be curs'd.
7 Thou shalt not steal nor yet defraud
Thy fellow-men of what they claim,
'Tis breaking of the law of God,
And brings on man both guilt and shame.
8 Adultery that horrid act!
Commit thou not that shameful deed;
They who are guilty of such fact,
Their ways unto destruction lead.
9 False evidence thou shalt not bear,
For that could cost thy neighbour's life,
In ev'ry cause the truth declare,
To settle all debates and strife.
10 Thy neighbour's wife, nor what he hath
Thou shalt not covet, seek or crave;
But trust the Lord for life and death,
And be content with what you have.
11 Great God to thee I humbly pray:
Fill us with holy fear and awe;
Make us afraid to disobey
Or break thy just and holy law.
The great command Jehovah gave

Almighty Lord Of Earth And Heaven
Author: David Denike; C. H. L. Schuette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Ten Commandments First Line: Almighty Lord of earth and heav'n Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord of earth and heav'n,
The Ten Commandments Thou hast giv'n
Reveal how wicked I have been
And make me dread the curse of sin.
2 I've loved the creature more than Thee
And sinned against Thy majesty;
My love and trust to Thee denied,
On self and man my soul relied.
3 My lips have oft, from heart profane,
Employed Thy holy name in vain;
Forgetful of Thy cov'nant grace,
How seldom have I sought Thy face!
4 In sinful cares, or work, or play,
I've often spent Thy holy day,
Despised Thy Word, strayed from Thy fold,
And left Thy benefits untold.
5 My parents oft I've disobeyed,
Their good with evil deeds repaid;
I've been unchaste in word and deed
And careless of my neighbor's need.
6 With hateful thoughts my heart's been stained,
Nor have I aye my tongue restrained;
I've coveted what was not mine,
And so transgressed Thy law divine.
7 Ah, how my sins are multiplied
When by Thy law my life is tried!
O jealous God, do pity me
And mark not mine iniquity!
8 Let grace to judgment be preferred;
Remove the curse I have incurred;
For Jesus' sake my sins forgive,
And may I to Thy glory live. Used With Tune: HAMBURG

All Your Commandments, Father Almighty
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 5.5.5.5.5.5 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Ten Commandments 9th Commandment (do not bear false witness) First Line: All your commandments Lyrics: 1 All your commandments, Father almighty,
bring to your children healing and blessing:
Christians who keep them find here their comfort.
2 Daily instruct us as your disciples:
each of your statutes stands firm forever;
faithful your promise, free your forgiveness.
3 God of all mercy, grant me your guidance;
how can the young ones keep their way holy?
I have found treasure in your instruction.
4 Joy comes to nations knowing your judgments;
keeping them brings us close to your kingdom--
laws that spell freedom, true liberation.
5 My heart is listening for you each morning,
never desert me; speak in the nighttime;
open my eyes, Lord, then lead me onward.
6 Put right my passions by your clear precept,
quell my rebellions, rescue me quickly:
raise and restore me, mighty Redeemer.
7 Savior whose Spirit gave us the Scriptures,
train me to trust them when I am tempted;
unless you helped me, I would go under.
8 Vain are my own ways; yours in the victory.
Wonderful Counselor, you are my wisdom:
your word shall teach me; I will obey you.

your word of grace new courage gave.
The kings of earth shall thank you, LORD,
for they have heard your wondrous word;
yes, they shall come with songs of praise
for great and glorious are your ways,
for great and glorious are your ways.
3 O LORD, enthroned in glory bright,
you reign alone in heavenly height;
the proud in vain your favor seek,
but you have mercy for the meek.
Through trouble though my pathway be,
you will revive and strengthen me,
you will revive and strengthen me.
4 You will stretch forth your mighty arm
to save me when my foes alarm.
The work you have for me begun
shall by your grace be fully done.
Your love forever will endure:
your mercy, LORD, is ever sure;
your mercy, LORD, is ever sure.

LORD, Our Lord, Your Glorious Name
Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 3rd Commandment (do not take the name of the Lord in vain) Lyrics: 1 LORD, our Lord, your glorious name
all your wondrous works proclaim;
in the heavens with radiant signs
evermore your glory shines.
2 Infant voices chant your praise,
telling of your glorious ways;
weakest means work out your will,
mighty enemies to still.
3 Moon and stars in shining height
nightly tell their Maker's might;
when I view the heavens afar,
then I know how small we are.
4 Who are we that we should share
in your love and tender care--
raised to an exalted height,
crowned with honor in your sight!
5 With dominion crowned, we stand
o'er the creatures of your hand;
all to us subjection yield,
in the sea and air and field.
6 Lord, our Lord, your glorious name
all your wondrous works proclaim,
yours the name of matchless worth,
excellent in all the earth. Scripture: Psalm 8 Used With Tune: GOTT SEI DANK DURCH ALLE WELT Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Now with Joyful Exultation
Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Ten Commandments 2nd Commandment (do not make graven emages) Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation
let us sing to God our praise;
to the Rock of our salvation
loud hosannas let us raise.
Thankful tribute gladly bringing,
let us come before him now,
and, with psalms his praises singing,
joyful in his presence bow.
2 For how great a God, and glorious,
is the LORD of whom we sing;
over idol gods victorious,
great is he, our God and King.
In his hand are earth's deep places,
also his are all the hills;
his the sea whose bounds he traces,
his the land his bounty fills.
3 To the LORD, such might revealing,
let us come with reverence meet,
and, before our Maker kneeling,
let us worship at his feet.
He is our own God who leads us,
we the people of his care;
with a shepherd's hand he feeds us
as his flock in pastures fair.
4 While he offers peace and pardon
let us hear his voice today,
lest, if we our hearts should harden,
we should perish in the way--
lest to us, so unbelieving,
he in judgment should declare:
"You, so long my Spirit grieving,
never in my rest will share." Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: BEECHER Text Sources: Psalter, 1912
