And all his wonders tell.

Salvation from thy throne.

With messages of grace;

To save our sinful race.

To mourn our sin, and from it turn
In faith to Thee and to Thy Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
3 Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
For needed help from day to day
That as Thy children we may live,
Whom Thou in Baptism didst receive.
4 Lord, when we fall and sin doth stain,
Absolve and lift us up again;
And thro' the Sacrament increase
Our faith till we depart in peace.
Amen.

Defend his innocence from blame;
With charity hide his shame.

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!

To show thee, child of man, thy sin
And make thee also well perceive
How man unto God should live.

when Israel, from the waters brought ashore,
received its calling and God's holy law.
For on that day of God, the great I AM,
the spirit on the chosen people came.
3 Most wonderful of all that holy dawn
in which the Saviour of the world was born!
The Spirit rest on a Hebrew maid
and God in human form came to our aid.
Then, Holy Spirit,your great love excelled
when we our God in flesh and blood beheld.
4 Christ rose from death, victorious over sin;
the ascended Lord now reigns, the world to win;
and on the church that it may witness give,
God's love was poured, that through it all might live.
On this fresh Pentecost, life-giving Lord,
come, spread through us your saving love abroad. Topics: Pentecost Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE

Till your justice flows like water to the poor throughout the land.

The X. Commandments
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Exodus 20 First Line: Hark Israel and what I say Lyrics: Hark Israel and what I say,
give heed to understand:
I am the Lord thy God that brought
thee out of Egypt land,
Even from the house wherein thou didst
in thraldome live a slave:
None other God at all before
my presence shalt thou have.
No manner graven image shalt
thou make at all to thee:
Nor any figure like by thee
shall counterfeited be,
Of any thing in Heaven above,
nor in the earth below:
Nor in the waters beneath the earth,
to them thou shalt not bow.
Nor shalt them serve: the Lord thy God
a jealous Goad am I:
That punish parents faults, unto
the third and fourth degree,
Upon their children that me hate;
and mercy do display
To thousands of such as me love,
and my precepts obey.
The Name thou of the Lord thy God
in vaine shalt never use:
For him that takes his Name in vaine
the Lord will not excuse.
Remember that thou holy keep
the sacred Sabbath Day:
Six daies thou labour shalt and do
thy needfull works alway.
The seventh day the Lord thy God
hat set to rest upon:
No work then shalt hou do in it,
ne thou nor yet thy sonne,
Thy dauther, servant, nor thy maid,
thine oxe, nor yet thine asse:
Nor stranger that within thy gates
hath his abiding place.
For in six daies, God heaven and earth,
and all therein did make
And after those his rest he did
upon the seventh day take.
Wherefore he blest the day that he
for resting did ordaine:
And sacred to himselfe alone
appointed to remaine.
Yeeld honour to thy parents, that
prolong'd thy daies may be
Upon the land which the Lord
thy God hath given thee.
Thou shalt not murther. Thou shalt not
commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steale. Nor witnesse false
against thy neighbour be.
Thou shalt not covet house that to
thy neighbour doth belong:
Ne covet shalt in having of
his wife to do him wrong:
Nor his man-servnat nor his maid,
nor Oxe nor Asse of his:
Nor any other thing that to
thy neighbour proper is.

The Spirit of grace grant us O Lord,
To keep these lawes our hearts restore
And cause us all with one accord,
To magnifie thy Name therefore.
For of our selves no strenght we have
To keep these lawes after thy will:
Thy might therefore O Christ we crave,
That we in thee may them fulfill.
Lord for thy Names sake grant us this,
Thou art our strength, O Saviour Christ:
Of thee to speed how should we misse,
In whom our treasure doth consist?
To thee for evermore be praise,
With the Father in each respect,
And with the holy Spirit alwaies,
The conforter of thine elect. Used With Tune: [Attend my people and give eare]
