Wilt thou, O man, live happily
Author: Dr. M. Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Decalogue Lyrics: 1 Wilt thou, O man, live happily,
And dwell with God eternally,
The Ten Commandments keep, for thus
Our God Himself commanded us.
2 I am the Lord, Thy God, take heed
No other god doth thee mislead:
Thy heart shall trust alone in Me,
Yea, Mine own kingdom shalt thou be.
3 Honor My Name in word and deed,
And call on Me in time of need:
And sanctify the holy day
That work in thee I also may.
4 Obedient always, next to Me,
To father and to mother be;
Kill no man, even anger dread:
Keep undefiled thy marriage bed.
5 Steal not, nor do thy neighbor wrong
By bearing witness with false tongue:
Thy neighbor's wife desire thou not,
Nor grudge him aught that he has got. Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH
Wilt thou, O man, live happily
The law of God is good and wise
Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And dead in sin and woe remain;
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sin to die,
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone. Used With Tune: RETREAT
The law of God is good and wise
Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me
Author: Johann Scheffler (Angelus Silesius); Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me,
Thy spirit steep me all in Thee;
Thy body, pierc'd by ruthless steel,
My wretched soul and body heal.
2 The water from Thy side that poured,
For me a cleansing bath afford,
And all Thy blood, with life divine,
Revive these sluggish powers of mine.
3 The bloody sweat upon Thy face
Deliver me from death's embrace,
And all Thy passion, cross, and pain,
With strength my feebleness sustain.
4 O Christ! turn not away from me,
Accept and hide me quite in Thee,
Within Thy holy wounds enclose,
And keep me safe when foes oppose.
5 In death's dark hour with me abide,
And place me, Savior! at Thy side,
Where all Thy blessed saints on high
To sing Thy praise, and never die. Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET Text Sources: Latin of the 14th Century
Thy soul, O Jesus! hallow me
In vain would boasting reason find
Author: Anna Steele Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 In vain would boasting reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Diviner comforts cheer my heart
Than all the powers of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living way.
Let Thy good Spirit be my guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise
To shake my faith with treach'rous art
I scorn as vanity and lies
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Used With Tune: SEASONS
In vain would boasting reason find
Dearest Jesus! we are here
Author: Benjamin Schmolke; E. Cronenwett; M. Loy, D. D. Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 Dearest Jesus! we are here,
On Thy tender grace relying,
See an infant child draw near,
With Thy good behest complying:
Children must to Christ be given,
For they are the heirs of heaven.
2 This assurance, night and morn,
In our ears re-echoes ever,
Who are not of water born
And the Spirit, pure are never,
Ne'er can claim the Savior's merit,
Ne'er His kingdom shall inherit.
3 Therefore hasten we to Thee,
From our arms the pledge be taken,
Show Thy mercy large and free,
Be this infant not forsaken,
May compassion, mild and tender,
Thine this child forever render.
4 Wash it, Jesus! in Thy blood,
From the sin-stain of its nature,
Let it rise from out this flood
Clothed in Thee, a newborn creature;
May it, washed as Thou hast bidden,
In thine innocence be hidden.
5 Turn the darkness into light,
Change Thy wrath to gracious favor,
Heal the serpent's cruel bite,
By this wonder-working laver;
Here let flow a Jordan river,
And from leprosy deliver.
6 Shepherd! not Thy Lamb protect,
Head! Thy member kindly make it,
Way of Heaven! its path direct,
Prince of Peace! to peace awake it,
Vine! O may this branch, believing,
Ever live, Thy life receiving!
7 Now into Thy heart we pour
Prayers that from our hearts proceeded;
May our sighings heavenward soar,
May our warm desires be heeded;
May the name which we have given
Be recorded high in heaven. Used With Tune: NUREMBERG (Old) (Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier)
Dearest Jesus! we are here
Lord, Thy omniscience I adore!
Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwatt, D. D. Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Works and Attributes of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thy omniscience I adore!
Thou knowest all that was before,
Is now, and all that e'er shall be
In time and thro' eternity.
2 Thou too hast searched and seen me through,
Awake, asleep, I'm in Thy view;
My going out, my coming in,
Thou seest, and my thoughts within.
3 Before my lips my thoughts obey,
Thou knowest what I mean to say;
Yea, long ere yet they are my own,
My thoughts, as Thine, to Thee are known.
4 Such knowledge is too great for me,
Too wonderful! I bow to Thee
In humble awe, and, rapt, adore
Thy vast omniscience all the more!
5 Lord Jesus do Thou light my heart,
And bid all darkness thence depart!
O keep me steadfast in Thy grace,
Till I shall see Thee face to face. Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (New)
Lord, Thy omniscience I adore!
Thy Word, O Lord, is gentle dew
Author: Carl Bernard Garve; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, is gentle dew
To suff'ring hearts that want it;
O shed Thy heav'nly balm anew,
To all Thy garden grant it.
Refreshed by Thee,
May ev'ry tree
Bud forth and blossom to Thy praise,
And bear much fruit in after days.
2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword,
A sharp and mighty arrow,
A wedge that cleaves the rock; that Word
Can pierce through heart and marrow;
O send it forth
O'er all the earth,
The darkened heart to cleanse and win,
And shatter all the might of sin.
3 Thy Word, a wondrous star, supplies
True guidance when we need it;
It points to Christ, it maketh wise
All simple hearts that heed it;
Let not its light
E'er sink in night,
But still in every spirit shine,
That none may miss that light divine. Used With Tune: HOPE (Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan)
Thy Word, O Lord, is gentle dew

Lamb of God! we fall before Thee
Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee,
Humbly trusting in Thy cross;
That alone be all our glory,
All things else are only dross.
2 Thee we own a perfect Savior,
Only source of all that’s good.
Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor
Comes to us through Jesus’ blood.
3 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heav’n;
Whispers this transporting sentence:
"Son thy sins are all forgiven."
4 Faith He grants us to believe it,
Grateful hearts His love to prize;
Want we wisdom? He must give it;
Hearing ears, and seeing eyes.
5 Jesus gives us pure affections,
Wills to do what He requires:
Makes us follow His directions,
And what He commands, inspires.
6 All our prayers, and all our praises,
Rightly offered in His name,—
He that dictates them is Jesus;
He that answers is the same. Used With Tune: WILMOT
Lamb of God! we fall before Thee
