Perseverance
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H52.III (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 52 First Line: Rejoice, believer in the Lord Lyrics: 12 Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
Who makes your cause his own;
The hope that's built upon his word
Can ne'er be overthrown.
13 Tho' many foes beset your road,
And feeble is your arm;
Your life is hid with Christ in God
Beyond the reach of harm.
14 Weak as you are you shall not faint
Or fainting shall not die;
Jesus, the strength of ev'ry saint,
Will aid you from on high.
15 As surely as he overcame.
And triumph'd once for you;
So surely, you that love his name,
Shall in him triumph too.
Perseverance
Ninth Command
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H43 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 43 First Line: Religion is the chief concern Lyrics: 1 Religion is the chief concern
Of mortals here below:
May all its great importance learn,
Its sovereign virtue know.
2 Let deep repentance, faith, and love,
Be join'd with godly fear;
And all our conversation prove
Our souls to be sincere.
3 Let with our lips our hearts agree,
Nor sland'ring word devise;
We know the God of truth cna see
Through ev'ry false disguise.
4 Lord never let our envy grow
To hear another's praise;
Nor rob him of his honour due,
By base revengeful ways.
5 O God of truth help to detest
Whate'er is false or wrong,
That lies in earnest or in jest
May ne'er employ our tongue. Languages: English
Ninth Command
Dead to Sin
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H33.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 33 First Line: Shall we go on to sin Lyrics: 5 Shall we go on to sin,
Because thy grace abounds?
Or crucify the Lord again,
And open all his wounds?
6 Forbid it mighty God!
Nor let it e'er be said,
That we, whose sins are crucify'd,
Should raise them from the dead.
7 We will be slaves no more,
Since Christ has made us free,
Has nail'd our tyrants to his cross,
And bought our liberty.

Necessity of good Works
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H32.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 32 First Line: So let our lips and lives express Lyrics: 5 So let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.
6 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honours of our Saviour God;
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
7 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd,
Passion and envy lust and pride:
While justice, temp'rance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
8 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on his word. Languages: English

Our Father which art in Heaven
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H46 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 46 First Line: Sov'reign of all the worlds on high Lyrics: 1 Sov'reign of all the worlds on high,
Allow my humble claim;
Nor while poor worms would raise their heads,
Disdain a Father’s name.
2 Our Father God! how sweet the sound!
How tender, and how dear!
Not all the melody of heav’n
Could so delight the ear.
3 Come, sacred Spirit, seal the name
On mine expanding heart;
And shew, that in Jehovah’s grace
I share a filial part.
4 Cheer'd by a signal so divine,
Unwav'ring I believe;
Thou know’st I Abba, Father, cry,
Nor can thy word deceive.

He was crucified
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H15.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 15 First Line: Stretch'd on the cross the Saviour dies Lyrics: 5 Stretch'd on the cross the Saviour dies,
Hark! his expiring groans arise!
See, from his hands, his feet, his side,
Runs down the sacred crimson tide!
6 Believers now, behold the man,
The man of grief condemn'd for you,
The Lamb of God for sinners slain,
Weeping to Calvary pursue.
7 His sacred limbs they stretch, they tear,
With nails they fasten to the wood —
His sacred limbs — expos'd and bare,
Or only cover'd with his blood.
8 See there! his temples crown'd with thorns,
His bleeding hands extended wide,
His streaming feet transfix'd and torn,
The fountain gushing from his side.
9 Thou dear, thou suff'ring Son of God,
How doth thy heart to sinners move!
Sprinkle on us thy precious blood,
Constrain us with thy dying love!

Our Only Comfort
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H1 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 1 First Line: Substantial comfort will not grow Lyrics: 1 Substantial comfort will not grow
In nature's barren soul;
All we can boast till Christ we know,
Is vanity and toil.
2 But where the Lord has planted grace,
And made his glories known;
There fruits of heav'nly joy and peace
Are found, and there alone.
3 A bleeding Saviour seen by faith,
A sense of pard'ning love;
a hope that triumphs over death,
Give joys like those above.
4 To take a glimpse within the vail,
To know that God is mine;
Are springs of joy that never fail,
Unspeakable! divine!
5 These are the joys which satisfy,
And sanctify the mind;
Which makes the spirit mount on high,
And leave the world behind.
6 No more, believers, mourn your lot,
But if you are the Lord's;
Resign to them that know him not,
Such joys as earth affords. Languages: English
Our Only Comfort
Forgiveness of Sins
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H21.III (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 21 First Line: Supreme in mercy, who shall dare Lyrics: 11 Supreme in mercy, who shall dare,
With thy compassion to compare;
For Jesus sake thou dost forgive,
And bid the trembling sinner live.
12 Millions of our transgressions past,
Cancell'd behind thy bac are cast;
Thy grace, a sea without a shore,
O'erflows them, and they rise no more.
13 And lest new legions should invade,
And make the pardon'd soul afraid,
Our inbred lusts thou wilt subdue,
And form degen'rate hearts a-new.
14 Thy truth to Jacob shall prevail;
Thy oath to Abram cannot fail;
The hope of saints in ancient days,
Which ages yet unborn shall praise. Languages: English

Deliver us from Evil
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H52.II (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 52 First Line: Teach us, O Lord, aright to plead Lyrics: 7 Teach us, O Lord, aright to plead
For mercies from above;
O come, and bless our souls indeed,
With light, and joy, and love.
8 The gospel's promis'd land is wide,
We fain would enter in;
But we are press'd on ev'ry side,
With unbelief and sin.
9 Arise, O Lord, enlarge our coast,
Let us possess the whole;
That satan may no longer boast,
He can thy work controul.
10 Oh, may thy hand be with us still,
Our guide and guardian be;
To keep us safe from ev'ry ill,
Till death shall set us free.
11 Help us on thee to cast our care,
And on thy word to rest;
That Israel's God, who heareth pray'r,
Will grant us our request. Languages: English

The Virgin's promis'd Son is born
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H14 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 14 Lyrics: 1 The Virgin's promis'd Son is born;
Behold th' expected child appear:
Let infidels forbear their scorn
Fro God himself approaches near.
2 The government of earth and seas
Upon his shoulders shall be laid;
His wide dominions still increase,
And honours to his name be paid.
3 Jesus the holy child shall sit
High on his Father David's throne;
Shall crush his foes beneath his feet,
And reign to ages yet unknown.
