Have mercy, Lord

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #391 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.7.4 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! Topics: Catechism Languages: English

What a Friend we have in Jesus

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #395 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear; What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer, Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear-- All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer. 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a Friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge,-- Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. Topics: Catechism Languages: English

Our Father, Thou in heaven above

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #396 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Our Father, Thou in heaven above, Who biddest us to dwell in love, As brothers of one family, And cry for all we need to Thee:-- Teach us to mean the words we say, And from the inmost heart to pray. 2 Thy name be hallowed! help us, Lord, To keep in purity Thy Word, And lead according to Thy name A holy life, untouched by blame; Let no false teachings do us hurt, All poor deluded souls convert. 3 Thy kingdom come! Thine let it be In time, and through eternity! O let Thy Holy Spirit dwell With us, to rule and guide us well; From Satan's mighty power and rage Preserve Thy Church from age to age. 4 Thy will be done on earth, O Lord, As where in heaven Thou art adored! Patience in time of grief bestow, Obedience in weal and woe; Our sinful flesh and blood control That thwart Thy will within the soul. 5 Give us this day our daily bread And all that for this life we need; From war and strife be our Defence, From famine and from pestilence, That we may live in godly peace, Unvexed by cares and avarice. 6 Lord, all our trespasses forgive, That they our hearts no more may grieve, As we forgive their trespasses Who unto us have done amiss; Thus let us dwell in charity, And serve each other willingly. 7 Into temptation lead us not; And when the Foe doth war and plot Against our souls on every hand, Then armed with faith, O may we stand Against him as a valiant host, Through comfort of the Holy Ghost. 8 From evil, Lord, deliver us! The times and days are perilous; Redeem us from eternal death; And when we yield our dying breath, Console us, grant us calm release, And take our souls to Thee in peace. 9 Amen! that is, So let it be! Confirm our faith continually, That we may doubt not, but believe That what we ask we shall receive; Thus in Thy name and at Thy word We say: Amen; O hear us, Lord!

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #398 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try: Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death-- He enters heaven with prayer. 6 The saints in prayer appear as one In word, and deed, and mind, While with the Father and the Son Sweet fellowship they find. 7 Nor prayer is made by man alone,-- The Holy Spirit pleads, And Jesus on th'eternal throne For sinners intercedes. 8 O Thou, by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer Thyself hast trod-- Lord, teach us how to pray!

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat

Baptized into Thy name most holy

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #400 (1918) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Baptized into Thy name most holy, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I claim a place, though weak and lowly, Among Thy seed, Thy chosen host; Buried with Christ, and dead to sin, Thy Spirit now shall live within. 2 My loving Father, Thou dost take me To be henceforth Thy child and heir; My faithful Savior, Thou dost make me The fruit of all Thy sorrows share, Thou, Holy Ghost, wilt comfort me, When darkest clouds around I see. 3 And I have vowed to fear and love Thee, And to obey Thee, Lord, alone; I felt Thy Holy Spirit move me, And freely pledge myself Thine own, Renouncing sin to keep the faith, And war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, Thou failest never, Thy covenant surely will abide; O cast me not away forever, Should I transgress it on my side; If I have sore my soul defiled, Yet still forgive, restore Thy child. 5 Yea, all I am, and love most dearly,-- To Thee I offer new the whole; O let me make my vows sincerely, Take full possession of my soul, Let naught within me, naught I own, Serve any will but Thine alone. 6 Depart, depart! Thou Prince of darkness! No more by thee I'll be enticed. Mine is indeed a tarnished conscience, But sprinkled with the blood of Christ. Away, vain world! O sin, away! Lo! I renounce you all this day. 7 And never let my purpose falter, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, But keep me faithful to Thine altar, Till Thou shalt call me from my post; So unto Thee I live and die, And praise Thee evermore on high.
