Baptism

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H26 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 26 First Line: 'Twas the commission of our Lord Lyrics: 1 'Twas the commission of our Lord, Go teach the nations, and baptize, The nations have receiv'd the word Since he ascended to the skies. 2 He sits upon th' eternal hills, With grace and pardon in his hands, And sends his cov'nant, with the seals, To bless the distant heathen lands. 3 Repent, and be baptiz'd, he saith, For the remission of your sins: And thus our sense assists our faith, And shews us what his gospel means. 4 Our souls he washes in his blood, As water makes the body clean; And the good Spirit from our God Descends like purifying rain. 5 Thus we engage ourselves to thee, And seal our cov'nant with the Lord; O may the great eternal Three In heav'n our solemn vows record!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H2 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lords Day 2 First Line: Vain are the hopes the sons of men Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes the sons of men, On their own works have built; Their hearts by nature all unclean, And all their actions guilt. 2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths, Without a murm'ring word, And the whole race of Adam stand Guilty before the Lord. 3 In vain we ask God's righteous law To justify us now, Since to convince, and to condemn, Is all the law can do. 4 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace, When in thy name we trust! Our faith receives a righteousness That makes the sinner just. Languages: English

Ye know the way to Jesus' throne, Source of my joys, and of your own. 8 That blissful interview, how sweet! To fall transported at his feet! Rais'd in his arms to see his face, Thro' the full beamings of his grace! 9 As with a Seraph's voice to sing! To fly as on a Cherub's wing! Performing, with unweary'd hands, The present Saviour's high commands. 10 Yet, with these prospects full in sight, We'll wait thy signal for the flight; For while thy service we pursue, We find a heaven in all we do.

All Men are not saved

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H7 (1789) Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 7 First Line: Destruction's dangerous road Lyrics: 1 Destruction's dangerous road What multitudes pursue! While that which leads the soul to God, Is know or sought by few. 2 Believes enter in By Christ the living door; But they who will not leave their sin, Must perish evermore. 3 If self must be deny'd, And sin forsaken quite; They rather choose the way that's wide, And strive to think it right. 4 Encompass'd by a throng, On numbers they depend; They say so many can't be wrong, And miss a happy end. 5 But numbers are not mark That men will right be found; A few were sav'd in Noah's ark For many millions drown'd. 6 Obey the gospel call And enter while you may; The flock of Christ remains still small And none are safe but they. 7 Lord, open sinners' eyes, Their awful state to see; And make them, ere the storm arise, To thee for safety flee.
