No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, But downward bends His burning eye at mysteries so bright.

Crown Him with many crowns, as thrones before Him fall; Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, for He is King of all.

Verse 9: Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For Thou has died for me; Thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity. Title: Daily, Daily, Sing the Praises Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1865.

Verse 2: Every day, the Lord Himself is near me With a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me, He Whose Name is Counselor and Power; The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid; "As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure," This the pledge to me He made. Verse 3: Help me then in every tribulation So to trust Thy promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith's sweet consolation Offered me within Thy holy Word.

Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me; Shall such grace be vainly brought me?

Worthless are my prayers and sighing; Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying. Verse 8: With Thy favored sheep, oh, place me!

Day of sorrow, day of weeping, When, in dust no longer sleeping, Man awakes in Thy dread keeping!

Verse 8: Lord, by love and mercy driven Thou hast left Thy throne in heaven On the cross for me to languish And to die in bitter anguish, To forego all joy and gladness And to shed Thy blood in sadness. By this blood redeemed and living, Lord, I praise Thee with thanksgiving. Verse 9: Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee. By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this supper let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure. Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me. Title: Deem Not That They Are Blest Alone Author: William Cullen Bryant, 1837.

He disarms the wrath of God; Now my Father's mercies move, Justice lingers into love. Verse 9: Kindled His relentings are, Me He now delights to spare, Cries, "How shall I give thee up?" Lets the lifted thunder drop. Verse 10: Lo! I still walk on the ground: Lo! an Advocate is found: "Hasten not to cut Him down, Let this barren soul alone."

Verse 4: Far o'er yon horizon rise the city towers Where our God abideth; that fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river shedding joys untold. Thither, onward, thither, in the Spirit's might; Pilgrims to your country, forward into light! Verse 5: To th'eternal Father loudest anthems raise; To the Son and Spirit echo songs of praise; To the Lord of glory, blessed Three in One, Be by men and angels endless honor done.

Verse 3: To whom that story, old and sweet, is but a fable at the best, The Christmas music mocks their ears, and life has naught of joy or rest.

God hath here on earth a treasure, none but He its price may know— Deep, unfathomable pleasure, Christ revealed in saints below. Verse 2: Christ, the Light that fills the heavens, shining forth on earth beneath, Through His Spirit freely given, Light of life 'midst shades of death; Down from heaven's unclouded glory God Himself the treasure brought, Closing thus His love's sweet story with His sweetest, deepest thought.

Still unwasted, undiminished, though the days of dearth wear on, Store eternally unfinished, fresh, as if but now begun. Verse 4: Earthen vessels, marred, unsightly, but the treasure as of old, Fresh from glory, gleaming brightly, heaven's undimmed, unchanging gold. God's own hand the vessel filling from the glory far above, Longing hearts forever stilling with those riches of His love. Verse 5: Thus, through earthen vessels only, shining forth in ceaseless grace, Reaching weary hearts and lonely, beams the light in Jesus' face. Vessels worthless, broken, bearing through the hungry ages on, Riches given with hand unsparing, God's great gift, His precious Son. Verse 6: Thus though worn, and tried, and tempted, glorious calling, saint, is thine; Let the Lord but find thee emptied, living branch in Christ the Vine! Vessels of the world's despising, vessels weak, and poor, and base; Bearing wealth God's heart is prizing, glory from Christ's blessèd face. Verse 7: Oh, to be but emptier, lowlier, mean, unnoticed, and unknown. And to God a vessel holier, filled with Christ, and Christ alone! Naught of earth to cloud the glory, naught of self the light to dim. Telling forth His wondrous story, emptied—to be filled with Him.

Verse 3: Who can now lament the lot of a saint in Christ deceased?

Verse 3: When our days of toil cease, waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heaven and prayer, wondering if our names are there; Wading deep the dismal flood, pleading naught but Jesus' blood, Whispering softly, "Wanderer, come, follow Me, I'll guide thee home."

Verse 2: The rich man was there, but his money Had melted and vanished away; A pauper he stood in the judgment, His debts were too heavy to pay; The great man was there, but his greatness, When death came, was left far behind! The angel that opened the records, Not a trace of his greatness could find. Verse 3: The widow was there with the orphans, God heard and remembered their cries; No sorrow in heaven forever, God wiped all the tears from their eyes; The gambler was there and the drunkard, And the man that had sold them the drink, With the people who gave him the license, Together in hell they did sink. Verse 4: The moral man came to the judgment, But his self righteous rags would not do; The men who had crucified Jesus Had passed off as moral men, too; The soul that had put off salvation, "Not tonight; I'll get saved by and by, No time now to think of religion!"

Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Glad I come; and Thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to Thee, as I am; Nothing but sin have I to give; Nothing but love shall I receive.

From the grave I shall arise And shall meet Thee in the skies. Death itself is transitory; I shall lift my head in glory.

When soul and body languish, oh, leave me not alone, But take away mine anguish by virtue of Thine own! Verse 11: Be Thou my consolation, my shield when I must die; Remind me of Thy passion when my last hour draws nigh. Mine eyes shall then behold Thee, upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfolds Thee. Who dieth thus dies well.

Brighter the light seen 'neath the olives; Forms bright as sunlight, 'mid the trees, Soldiers were there, clad as for warfare; Lo! they are gone, and who are these? See yonder, hast'ning to the city, The trembling soldiers in terror go! Earthquake astounding, strange light surrounding, Drive them away these things to show. Verse 2: Darkly they plan; falsely as darkly, Stories that He was borne away-- Borne by His friends, poor weak disciples, Stol'n when the moon was bright as day! Soldiers of Rome ne'er slept on duty, False was the tale for silver told; Death could not hold that mighty Victor! Lift up your heads, ye gates of gold! The morn of glory hath awakened, And death no longer holds boundless pow'r; Empty the prison, Jesus has risen; Time hath no richer, grander hour. Chorus 1: O wonderful light in the garden, That fadeth not away! The King Who was laid in the shadow With vict'ry is crowned this glorious day.

Why, you thankless creatures, why, Will you cross His love, and die? Verse 2: Sinners, turn: why will you die? God, your Savior, asks you why. God, Who did your souls retrieve, Died Himself, that you might live. Will you let Him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, you ransomed sinners, why, Will you slight His grace and die? Verse 3: Sinners, turn: why will you die? God, the Spirit, asks you why; He, Who all your lives hath strove, Wooed you to embrace His love. Will you not His grace receive? Will you still refuse to live? Why, you long sought sinners, why, Will you grieve your God, and die?

You for higher ends were born, You may all to God return, Dwell with Him above the sky; Why will you forever die?

Verse 6: You, whom He ordained to be Transcripts of the Trinity, You, whom He in life doth hold, You for whom Himself was sold, You, on whom He still doth wait, Whom He would again create; Made by Him, and purchased, why, Why will you forever die? Verse 7: You, who own His record true, You, His chosen people, you, You, who call the Savior Lord, You, who read His written Word, You, who see the Gospel light, Claim a crown in Jesus' right; Why will you, ye Christians, why, Will the house of Israel die? Verse 8: Turn, He cries, ye sinners turn; By His life your God hath sworn; He would have you turn and live, He would all the world receive; He hath brought to all the race Full salvation by His grace; He hath not one soul passed by; Why will you resolve to die? Verse 9: Can ye doubt, if God is love, If to all His mercies move? Will ye not His Word receive? Will ye not His oath believe? See, the suffering God appears! Jesus weeps! Believe His tears! Mingled with His blood they cry, Why will you resolve to die? Verse 10: Dead, already dead within, Spiritually dead in sin, Dead to God while here you breathe, Pant ye after second death? Will you still in sin remain, Greedy of eternal pain? O you dying sinners, why, Why will you forever die? Verse 11: What could your Redeemer do More than He hath done for you? To procure your peace with God, Could He more than shed His blood? After all His waste of love, All His drawings from above, Why will you your Lord deny? Why will you resolve to die? Verse 12: Turn, He cries, ye sinners, turn; By His life your God hath sworn, He would have you turn and live, He would all the world receive. If your death were His delight, Would he you to life invite? Would he ask, obtest, and cry, Why will you resolve to die? Verse 13: Sinners, turn, while God is near: Dare not think Him insincere: Now, even now, your Savior stands, All day long He spreads His hands, Cries, you will not happy be! No, you will not come to Me! Me, Who life to none deny: Why will you resolve to die? Verse 14: Can you doubt if God is love? If to all His vowels move? Will you not His Word receive? Will you not His oath believe? See! the suffering God appears! Jesus weeps! Believe His tears! Mingled with His blood, they cry, Why will you resolve to die?

Verse 3: When the Lord shall count the nations, Sons and daughters He shall see, Born to endless life in Zion, And their joyful song shall be: "Blessed Zion, blessed Zion, Blessed Zion, all our fountains are in thee."

Copyright: Public Domain CCLI: Song ID: MS3-2341 Hymnal: Notes: Groups: Public Domain Verse 1: Zion stands by hills surrounded, Zion, kept by power divine; All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine; Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! Verse 2: Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove; Mothers cease their own to cherish; Heav'n and earth at last remove; But no changes can attend Jehovah's love, But no changes can attend Jehovah's love. Verse 3: In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou art precious in His sight; God is with thee—God, thine everlasting Light, God is with thee—God, thine everlasting Light.

What is thy only comfort in life and death? Verse 2: 2. How many things are necessary for thee to know, that thou, enjoying this comfort, mayest live and die happily? Verse 3: 3. Whence knowest thou thy misery? Verse 4: 4. What does the law of God require of us? Verse 5: 5. Canst thou keep all these things perfectly? Verse 6: 6. Did God then create man so wicked and perverse? Verse 7: 7. Whence then proceeds this depravity of human nature? Verse 8: 8. Are we then so corrupt that we are wholly incapable of doing any good, and inclined to all wickedness? Verse 9: 9. Does not God then do injustice to man, by requiring from him in his law, that which he cannot perform? Verse 10: 10. Will God suffer such disobedience and rebellion to go unpunished? Verse 11: 11. Is not God then also merciful? Verse 12: 12. Since then, by the righteous judgment of God, we deserve temporal and eternal punishment, is there no way by which we may escape that punishment, and be again received into favour? Verse 13: 13. Can we ourselves then make this satisfaction? Verse 14: 14. Can there be found anywhere, one, who is a mere creature, able to satisfy for us? Verse 15: 15. What sort of a mediator and deliverer then must we seek for? Verse 16: 16. Why must he be very man, and also perfectly righteous? Verse 17: 17. Why must he in one person be also very God? Verse 18: 18. Who then is that Mediator, who is in one person both very God, and a real righteous man? Verse 19: 19. Whence knowest thou this? Verse 20: 20. Are all men then, as they perished in Adam, saved by Christ? Verse 21: 21. What is true faith? Verse 22: 22. What is then necessary for a christian to believe? Verse 23: 23. What are these articles? Verse 24: 24. How are these articles divided? Verse 25: 25. Since there is but one only divine essence, why speakest thou of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Verse 26: 26. What believest thou when thou sayest, "I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth"? Verse 27: 27. What dost thou mean by the providence of God? Verse 28: 28. What advantage is it to us to know that God has created, and by his providence does still uphold all things? Verse 29: 29. Why is the Son of God called "Jesus", that is a Saviour? Verse 30: 30. Do such then believe in Jesus the only Saviour, who seek their salvation and welfare of saints, of themselves, or anywhere else? Verse 31: 31. Why is he called "Christ", that is anointed? Verse 32: 32. But why art thou called a Christian? Verse 33: 33. Why is Christ called the "only begotten Son" of God, since we are also the children of God? Verse 34: 34. Wherefore callest thou him "our Lord"? Verse 35: 35. What is the meaning of these words "He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary"? Verse 36: 36. What profit dost thou receive by Christ's holy conception and nativity? Verse 37: 37. What dost thou understand by the words, "He suffered"? Verse 38: 38. Why did he suffer "under Pontius Pilate, as judge"? Verse 39: 39. Is there anything more in his being "crucified", than if he had died some other death? Verse 40: 40. Why was it necessary for Christ to humble himself even "unto death"? Verse 41: 41. Why was he also "buried"? Verse 42: 42. Since then Christ died for us, why must we also die? Verse 43: 43. What further benefit do we receive from the sacrifice and death of Christ on the cross? Verse 44: 44. Why is there added, "he descended into hell"? Verse 45: 45. What does the "resurrection" of Christ profit us? Verse 46: 46. How dost thou understand these words, "he ascended into heaven"? Verse 47: 47. Is not Christ then with us even to the end of the world, as he has promised? Verse 48: 48. But if his human nature is not present, wherever his Godhead is, are not then these two natures in Christ separated from one another? Verse 49: 49. Of what advantage to us is Christ's ascension into heaven? Verse 50: 50. Why is it added, "and sitteth at the right hand of God"? Verse 51: 51. What profit is this glory of Christ, our head, unto us? Verse 52: 52. What comfort is it to thee that "Christ shall come again to judge the quick and the dead"? Verse 53: 53. What dost thou believe concerning the Holy Ghost? Verse 54: 54. What believest thou concerning the "holy catholic church" of Christ? Verse 55: 55. What do you understand by "the communion of saints"? Verse 56: 56. What believest thou concerning "the forgiveness of sins"? Verse 57: 57. What comfort does the "resurrection of the body" afford thee? Verse 58: 58. What comfort takest thou from the article of "life everlasting"? Verse 59: 59. But what does it profit thee now that thou believest all this? Verse 60: 60. How are thou righteous before God? Verse 61: 61. Why sayest thou, that thou art righteous by faith only? Verse 62: 62. But why cannot our good works be the whole, or part of our righteousness before God? Verse 63: 63. What! do not our good works merit, which yet God will reward in this and in a future life? Verse 64: 64. But does not this doctrine make men careless and profane? Verse 65: 65. Since then we are made partakers of Christ and all his benefits by faith only, whence does this faith proceed? Verse 66: 66. What are the sacraments? Verse 67: 67. Are both word and sacraments, then, ordained and appointed for this end, that they may direct our faith to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, as the only ground of our salvation? Verse 68: 68. How many sacraments has Christ instituted in the new covenant, or testament? Verse 69: 69. How art thou admonished and assured by holy baptism, that the one sacrifice of Christ upon the cross is of real advantage to thee? Verse 70: 70. What is it to be washed with the blood and Spirit of Christ? Verse 71: 71. Where has Christ promised us, that he will as certainly wash us by his blood and Spirit, as we are washed with the water of baptism? Verse 72: 72. Is then the external baptism with water the washing away of sin itself? Verse 73: 73. Why then does the Holy Ghost call baptism "the washing of regeneration," and "the washing away of sins"? Verse 74: 74. Are infants also to be baptized? Verse 75: 75. How art thou admonished and assured in the Lord's Supper, that thou art a partaker of that one sacrifice of Christ, accomplished on the cross, and of all his benefits? Verse 76: 76. What is it then to eat the crucified body, and drink the shed blood of Christ? Verse 77: 77. Where has Christ promised that he will as certainly feed and nourish believers with his body and bleed, as they eat of this broken bread, and drink of this cup? Verse 78: 78. Do then the bread and wine become the very body and blood of Christ? Verse 79: 79. Why then doth Christ call the bread "his body", and the cup "his blood", or "the new covenant in his blood"; and Paul the "communion of body and blood of Christ"? Verse 80: 80. What difference is there between the Lord's supper and the popish mass? Verse 81: 81. For whom is the Lord's supper instituted? Verse 82: 82. Are they also to be admitted to this supper, who, by confession and life, declare themselves unbelieving and ungodly? Verse 83: 83. What are the keys of the kingdom of heaven? Verse 84: 84. How is the kingdom of heaven opened and shut by the preaching of the holy gospel? Verse 85: 85. How is the kingdom of heaven shut and opened by Christian discipline? Verse 86: 86. Since then we are delivered from our misery, merely of grace, through Christ, without any merit of ours, why must we still do good works? Verse 87: 87. Cannot they then be saved, who, continuing in their wicked and ungrateful lives, are not converted to God? Verse 88: 88. Of how many parts does the true conversion of man consist? Verse 89: 89. What is the mortification of the old man? Verse 90: 90. What is the quickening of the new man? Verse 91: 91. But what are good works? Verse 92: 92. What is the law of God? Verse 93: 93. How are these commandments divided? Verse 94: 94. What does God enjoin in the first commandment? Verse 95: 95. What is idolatry? Verse 96: 96. What does God require in the second commandment? Verse 97: 97. Are images then not at all to be made? Verse 98: 98. But may not images be tolerated in the churches, as books to the laity? Verse 99: 99. What is required in the third commandment? Verse 100: 100. Is then the profaning of God's name, by swearing and cursing, so heinous a sin, that his wrath is kindled against those who do not endeavour, as much as in them lies, to prevent and forbid such cursing and swearing? Verse 101: 101. May we then swear religiously by the name of God? Verse 102: 102. May we also swear by saints or any other creatures? Verse 103: 103. What does God require in the fourth commandment? Verse 104: 104. What does God require in the fifth commandment? Verse 105: 105. What does God require in the sixth commandment? Verse 106: 106. But this commandment seems only to speak of murder? Verse 107: 107. But is it enough that we do not kill any man in the manner mentioned above? Verse 108: 108. What does the seventh commandment teach us? Verse 109: 109. Does God forbid in this commandment, only adultery, and such like gross sins? Verse 110: 110. What does God forbid in the eighth commandment? Verse 111: 111. But what does God require in this commandment? Verse 112: 112. What is required in the ninth commandment? Verse 113: 113. What does the tenth commandment require of us? Verse 114: 114. But can those who are converted to God perfectly keep these commandments? Verse 115: 115. Why will God then have the ten commandments so strictly preached, since no man in this life can keep them? Verse 116: 116. Why is prayer necessary for Christians? Verse 117: 117. What are the requisites of that prayer, which is acceptable to God, and which he will hear? Verse 118: 118. What has God commanded us to ask of him? Verse 119: 119. What are the words of that prayer? Verse 120: 120. Why has Christ commanded us to address God thus: "Our Father"? Verse 121: 121. Why is it here added, "Which art in heaven"? Verse 122: 122. Which is the first petition? Verse 123: 123. Which is the second petition? Verse 124: 124. Which is the third petition? Verse 125: 125. Which is the fourth petition? Verse 126: 126. Which is the fifth petition? Verse 127: 127. Which is the sixth petition? Verse 128: 128. How dost thou conclude thy prayer? Verse 129: 129. What does the word "Amen" signify? Chorus 1: 1. What is thy only comfort in life and death? That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him. Chorus 2: 2. How many things are necessary for thee to know, that thou, enjoying this comfort, mayest live and die happily? Three; the first, how great my sins and miseries are; the second, how I may be delivered from all my sins and miseries; the third, how I shall express my gratitude to God for such deliverance. Chorus 3: 3. Whence knowest thou thy misery? Out of the law of God. Chorus 4: 4. What does the law of God require of us? Christ teaches us that briefly, Matt. 22:37-40, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first and the great commandment; and the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Chorus 5: 5. Canst thou keep all these things perfectly? In no wise; for I am prone by nature to hate God and my neighbour. Chorus 6: 6. Did God then create man so wicked and perverse? By no means; but God created man good, and after his own image, in true righteousness and holiness, that he might rightly know God his Creator, heartily love him and live with him in eternal happiness to glorify and praise him. Chorus 7: 7. Whence then proceeds this depravity of human nature? From the fall and disobedience of our first parents, Adam and Eve, in Paradise; hence our nature is become so corrupt, that we are all conceived and born in sin. Chorus 8: 8. Are we then so corrupt that we are wholly incapable of doing any good, and inclined to all wickedness? Indeed we are; except we are regenerated by the Spirit of God. Chorus 9: 9. Does not God then do injustice to man, by requiring from him in his law, that which he cannot perform? Not at all; for God made man capable of performing it; but man, by the instigation of the devil, and his own wilful disobedience, deprived himself and all his posterity of those divine gifts. Chorus 10: 10. Will God suffer such disobedience and rebellion to go unpunished? By no means; but is terribly displeased with our original as well as actual sins; and will punish them in his just judgment temporally and eternally, as he has declared, "Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law, to do them." Chorus 11: 11. Is not God then also merciful? God is indeed merciful, but also just; therefore his justice requires, that sin which is committed against the most high majesty of God, be also punished with extreme, that is, with everlasting punishment of body and soul. Chorus 12: 12. Since then, by the righteous judgment of God, we deserve temporal and eternal punishment, is there no way by which we may escape that punishment, and be again received into favour? God will have his justice satisfied: and therefore we must make this full satisfaction, either by ourselves, or by another. Chorus 13: 13. Can we ourselves then make this satisfaction? By no means; but on the contrary we daily increase our debt. Chorus 14: 14. Can there be found anywhere, one, who is a mere creature, able to satisfy for us? None; for, first, God will not punish any other creature for the sin which man has committed; and further, no mere creature can sustain the burden of God's eternal wrath against sin, so as to deliver others from it. Chorus 15: 15. What sort of a mediator and deliverer then must we seek for? For one who is very man, and perfectly righteous; and yet more powerful than all creatures; that is, one who is also very God. Chorus 16: 16. Why must he be very man, and also perfectly righteous? Because the justice of God requires that the same human nature which has sinned, should likewise make satisfaction for sin; and one, who is himself a sinner, cannot satisfy for others. Chorus 17: 17. Why must he in one person be also very God? That he might, by the power of his Godhead sustain in his human nature, the burden of God's wrath; and might obtain for, and restore to us, righteousness and life. Chorus 18: 18. Who then is that Mediator, who is in one person both very God, and a real righteous man? Our Lord Jesus Christ: "who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." Chorus 19: 19. Whence knowest thou this? From the holy gospel, which God himself first revealed in Paradise; and afterwards published by the patriarchs and prophets, and represented by the sacrifices and other ceremonies of the law; and lastly, has fulfilled it by his only begotten Son. Chorus 20: 20. Are all men then, as they perished in Adam, saved by Christ? No; only those who are ingrafted into him, and, receive all his benefits, by a true faith. Chorus 21: 21. What is true faith? True faith is not only a certain knowledge, whereby I hold for truth all that God has revealed to us in his word, but also an assured confidence, which the Holy Ghost works by the gospel in my heart; that not only to others, but to me also, remission of sin, everlasting righteousness and salvation, are freely given by God, merely of grace, only for the sake of Christ's merits. Chorus 22: 22. What is then necessary for a christian to believe? All things promised us in the gospel, which the articles of our catholic undoubted christian faith briefly teach us. Chorus 23: 23. What are these articles? 1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: 2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord: 3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: 4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell: 5. The third day he rose again from the dead: 6. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: 7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: 8. I believe in the Holy Ghost: 9. I believe a holy catholic church: the communion of saints: 10. The forgiveness of sins: 11. The resurrection of the body: 12. And the life everlasting. Chorus 24: 24. How are these articles divided? Into three parts; the first is of God the Father, and our creation; the second of God the Son, and our redemption; the third of God the Holy Ghost, and our sanctification. Chorus 25: 25. Since there is but one only divine essence, why speakest thou of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Because God has so revealed himself in his word, that these three distinct persons are the one only true and eternal God. Chorus 26: 26. What believest thou when thou sayest, "I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth"? That the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (who of nothing made heaven and earth, with all that is in them; who likewise upholds and governs the same by his eternal counsel and providence) is for the sake of Christ his Son, my God and my Father; on whom I rely so entirely, that I have no doubt, but he will provide me with all things necessary for soul and body and further, that he will make whatever evils he sends upon me, in this valley of tears turn out to my advantage; for he is able to do it, being Almighty God, and willing, being a faithful Father. Chorus 27: 27. What dost thou mean by the providence of God? The almighty and everywhere present power of God; whereby, as it were by his hand, he upholds and governs heaven, earth, and all creatures; so that herbs and grass, rain and drought, fruitful and barren years, meat and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, yea, and all things come, not by chance, but be his fatherly hand. Chorus 28: 28. What advantage is it to us to know that God has created, and by his providence does still uphold all things? That we may be patient in adversity; thankful in prosperity; and that in all things, which may hereafter befall us, we place our firm trust in our faithful God and Father, that nothing shall separate us from his love; since all creatures are so in his hand, that without his will they cannot so much as move. Chorus 29: 29. Why is the Son of God called "Jesus", that is a Saviour? Because he saveth us, and delivereth us from our sins; and likewise, because we ought not to seek, neither can find salvation in any other. Chorus 30: 30. Do such then believe in Jesus the only Saviour, who seek their salvation and welfare of saints, of themselves, or anywhere else? They do not; for though they boast of him in words, yet in deeds they deny Jesus the only deliverer and Saviour; for one of these two things must be true, that either Jesus is not a complete Saviour; or that they, who by a true faith receive this Saviour, must find all things in him necessary to their salvation. Chorus 31: 31. Why is he called "Christ", that is anointed? Because he is ordained of God the Father, and anointed with the Holy Ghost, to be our chief Prophet and Teacher, who has fully revealed to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our redemption; and to be our only High Priest, who by the one sacrifice of his body, has redeemed us, and makes continual intercession with the Father for us; and also to be our eternal King, who governs us by his word and Spirit, and who defends and preserves us in that salvation, he has purchased for us. Chorus 32: 32. But why art thou called a Christian? Because I am a member of Christ by faith, and thus am partaker of his anointing; that so I may confess his name, and present myself a living sacrifice of thankfulness to him: and also that with a free and good conscience I may fight against sin and Satan in this life and afterwards I reign with him eternally, over all creatures. Chorus 33: 33. Why is Christ called the "only begotten Son" of God, since we are also the children of God? Because Christ alone is the eternal and natural Son of God; but we are children adopted of God, by grace, for his sake. Chorus 34: 34. Wherefore callest thou him "our Lord"? Because he hath redeemed us, both soul and body, from all our sins, not with silver or gold, but with his precious blood, and has delivered us from all the power of the devil; and thus has made us his own property. Chorus 35: 35. What is the meaning of these words "He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary"? That God's eternal Son, who is, and continues true and eternal God, took upon him the very nature of man, of the flesh and blood of the virgin Mary, by the operation of the Holy Ghost; that he might also be the true seed of David, like unto his brethren in all things, sin excepted. Chorus 36: 36. What profit dost thou receive by Christ's holy conception and nativity? That he is our Mediator; and with His innocence and perfect holiness, covers in the sight of God, my sins, wherein I was conceived and brought forth. Chorus 37: 37. What dost thou understand by the words, "He suffered"? That he, all the time that he lived on earth, but especially at the end of his life, sustained in body and soul, the wrath of God against the sins of all mankind: that so by his passion, as the only propitiatory sacrifice, he might redeem our body and soul from everlasting damnation, and obtain for us the favour of God, righteousness and eternal life. Chorus 38: 38. Why did he suffer "under Pontius Pilate, as judge"? That he, being innocent, and yet condemned by a temporal judge, might thereby free us from the severe judgement of God to which we were exposed. Chorus 39: 39. Is there anything more in his being "crucified", than if he had died some other death? Yes there is; for thereby I am assured, that he took on him the curse which lay upon me; for the death of the cross was accursed of God. Chorus 40: 40. Why was it necessary for Christ to humble himself even "unto death"? Because with respect to the justice and truth of God, satisfaction for our sins could be made no otherwise, than by the death of the Son of God. Chorus 41: 41. Why was he also "buried"? Thereby to prove that he was really dead. Chorus 42: 42. Since then Christ died for us, why must we also die? Our death is not a satisfaction for our sins, but only an abolishing of sin, and a passage into eternal life. Chorus 43: 43. What further benefit do we receive from the sacrifice and death of Christ on the cross? That by virtue thereof, our old man is crucified, dead and buried with him; that so the corrupt inclinations of the flesh may no more reign in us; but that we may offer ourselves unto him a sacrifice of thanksgiving. Chorus 44: 44. Why is there added, "he descended into hell"? That in my greatest temptations, I may be assured, and wholly comfort myself in this, that my Lord Jesus Christ, by his inexpressible anguish, pains, terrors, and hellish agonies, in which he was plunged during all his sufferings, but especially on the cross, has delivered me from the anguish and torments of hell. Chorus 45: 45. What does the "resurrection" of Christ profit us? First, by his resurrection he has overcome death, that he might make us partakers of that righteousness which he had purchased for us by his death; secondly, we are also by his power raised up to a new life; and lastly, the resurrection of Christ is a sure pledge of our blessed resurrection. Chorus 46: 46. How dost thou understand these words, "he ascended into heaven"? That Christ, in sight of his disciples, was taken up from earth into heaven; and that he continues there for our interest, until he comes again to judge the quick and the dead. Chorus 47: 47. Is not Christ then with us even to the end of the world, as he has promised? Christ is very man and very God; with respect to his human nature, he is no more on earth; but with respect to his Godhead, majesty, grace and spirit, he is at no time absent from us. Chorus 48: 48. But if his human nature is not present, wherever his Godhead is, are not then these two natures in Christ separated from one another? Not as all, for since the Godhead is illimitable and omnipresent, it must necessarily follow that the same is beyond the limits of the human nature he assumed, and yet is nevertheless in this human nature, and remains personally united to it. Chorus 49: 49. Of what advantage to us is Christ's ascension into heaven? First, that he is our advocate in the presence of his Father in heaven; secondly, that we have our flesh in heaven as a sure pledge that he, as the head, will also take up to himself, us, his members; thirdly, that he sends us his Spirit as an earnest, by whose power we "seek the things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God, and not things on earth." Chorus 50: 50. Why is it added, "and sitteth at the right hand of God"? Because Christ is ascended into heaven for this end, that he might appear as head of his church, by whom the Father governs all things. Chorus 51: 51. What profit is this glory of Christ, our head, unto us? First, that by his Holy Spirit he pours out heavenly graces upon us his members; and then that by his power he defends and preserves us against all enemies. Chorus 52: 52. What comfort is it to thee that "Christ shall come again to judge the quick and the dead"? That in all my sorrows and persecutions, with uplifted head I look for the very same person, who before offered himself for my sake, to the tribunal of God, and has removed all curse from me, to come as judge from heaven: who shall cast all his and my enemies into everlasting condemnation, but shall translate me with all his chosen ones to himself, into heavenly joys and glory. Chorus 53: 53. What dost thou believe concerning the Holy Ghost? First, that he is true and coeternal God with the Father and the Son; secondly, that he is also given me, to make me by a true faith, partaker of Christ and all his benefits, that he may comfort me and abide with me for ever. Chorus 54: 54. What believest thou concerning the "holy catholic church" of Christ? That the Son of God from the beginning to the end of the world, gathers, defends, and preserves to himself by his Spirit and word, out of the whole human race, a church chosen to everlasting life, agreeing in true faith; and that I am and forever shall remain, a living member thereof. Chorus 55: 55. What do you understand by "the communion of saints"? First, that all and every one, who believes, being members of Christ, are in common, partakers of him, and of all his riches and gifts; secondly, that every one must know it to be his duty, readily and cheerfully to employ his gifts, for the advantage and salvation of other members. Chorus 56: 56. What believest thou concerning "the forgiveness of sins"? That God, for the sake of Christ's satisfaction, will no more remember my sins, neither my corrupt nature, against which I have to struggle all my life long; but will graciously impute to me the righteousness of Christ, that I may never be condemned before the tribunal of God. Chorus 57: 57. What comfort does the "resurrection of the body" afford thee? That not only my soul after this life shall be immediately taken up to Christ its head; but also, that this my body, being raised by the power of Christ, shall be reunited with my soul, and made like unto the glorious body of Christ. Chorus 58: 58. What comfort takest thou from the article of "life everlasting"? That since I now feel in my heart the beginning of eternal joy, after this life, I shall inherit perfect salvation, which "eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man" to conceive, and that to praise God therein for ever. Chorus 59: 59. But what does it profit thee now that thou believest all this? That I am righteous in Christ, before God, and an heir of eternal life. Chorus 60: 60. How are thou righteous before God? Only by a true faith in Jesus Christ; so that, though my conscience accuse me, that I have grossly transgressed all the commandments of God, and kept none of them, and am still inclined to all evil; notwithstanding, God, without any merit of mine, but only of mere grace, grants and imputes to me, the perfect satisfaction, righteousness and holiness of Christ; even so, as if I never had had, nor committed any sin: yea, as if I had fully accomplished all that obedience which Christ has accomplished for me; inasmuch as I embrace such benefit with a believing heart. Chorus 61: 61. Why sayest thou, that thou art righteous by faith only? Not that I am acceptable to God, on account of the worthiness of my faith; but because only the satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ, is my righteousness before God; and that I cannot receive and apply the same to myself any other way than by faith only. Chorus 62: 62. But why cannot our good works be the whole, or part of our righteousness before God? Because, that the righteousness, which can be approved of before the tribunal of God, must be absolutely perfect, and in all respects conformable to the divine law; and also, that our best works in this life are all imperfect and defiled with sin. Chorus 63: 63. What! do not our good works merit, which yet God will reward in this and in a future life? This reward is not of merit, but of grace. Chorus 64: 64. But does not this doctrine make men careless and profane? By no means: for it is impossible that those, who are implanted into Christ by a true faith, should not bring forth fruits of thankfulness. Chorus 65: 65. Since then we are made partakers of Christ and all his benefits by faith only, whence does this faith proceed? >From the Holy Ghost, who works faith in our hearts by the preaching of the gospel, and confirms it by the use of the sacraments. Chorus 66: 66. What are the sacraments? The sacraments are holy visible signs and seals, appointed of God for this end, that by the use thereof, he may the more fully declare and seal to us the promise of the gospel, viz., that he grants us freely the remission of sin, and life eternal, for the sake of that one sacrifice of Christ, accomplished on the cross. Chorus 67: 67. Are both word and sacraments, then, ordained and appointed for this end, that they may direct our faith to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, as the only ground of our salvation? Yes, indeed: for the Holy Ghost teaches us in the gospel, and assures us by the sacraments, that the whole of our salvation depends upon that one sacrifice of Christ which he offered for us on the cross. Chorus 68: 68. How many sacraments has Christ instituted in the new covenant, or testament? Two: namely, holy baptism, and the holy supper. Chorus 69: 69. How art thou admonished and assured by holy baptism, that the one sacrifice of Christ upon the cross is of real advantage to thee? Thus: That Christ appointed this external washing with water, adding thereto this promise, that I am as certainly washed by his blood and Spirit from all the pollution of my soul, that is, from all my sins, as I am washed externally with water, by which the filthiness of the body is commonly washed away. Chorus 70: 70. What is it to be washed with the blood and Spirit of Christ? It is to receive of God the remission of sins, freely, for the sake of Christ's blood, which he shed for us by his sacrifice upon the cross; and also to be renewed by the Holy Ghost, and sanctified to be members of Christ, that so we may more and more die unto sin, and lead holy and unblamable lives. Chorus 71: 71. Where has Christ promised us, that he will as certainly wash us by his blood and Spirit, as we are washed with the water of baptism? In the institution of baptism, which is thus expressed: "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost", Matt.28:19. And "he that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be damned.", Mark 16:16. This promise is also repeated, where the scripture calls baptism "the washing of regenerations" and the washing away of sins. Tit.3:5, Acts 22:16. Chorus 72: 72. Is then the external baptism with water the washing away of sin itself? Not at all: for the blood of Jesus Christ only, and the Holy Ghost cleanse us from all sin. Chorus 73: 73. Why then does the Holy Ghost call baptism "the washing of regeneration," and "the washing away of sins"? God speaks thus not without great cause, to-wit, not only thereby to teach us, that as the filth of the body is purged away by water, so our sins are removed by the blood and Spirit of Jesus Christ; but especially that by this divine pledge and sign he may assure us, that we are spiritually cleansed from our sins as really, as we are externally washed with water. Chorus 74: 74. Are infants also to be baptized? Yes: for since they, as well as the adult, are included in the covenant and church of God; and since redemption from sin by the blood of Christ, and the Holy Ghost, the author of faith, is promised to them no less than to the adult; they must therefore by baptism, as a sign of the covenant, be also admitted into the christian church; and be distinguished from the children of unbelievers as was done in the old covenant or testament by circumcision, instead of which baptism is instituted in the new covenant. Chorus 75: 75. How art thou admonished and assured in the Lord's Supper, that thou art a partaker of that one sacrifice of Christ, accomplished on the cross, and of all his benefits? Thus: That Christ has commanded me and all believers, to eat of this broken bread, and to drink of this cup, in remembrance of him, adding these promises: first, that his body was offered and broken on the cross for me, and his blood shed for me, as certainly as I see with my eyes, the bread of the Lord broken for me, and the cup communicated to me; and further, that he feeds and nourishes my soul to everlasting life, with his crucified body and shed blood, as assuredly as I receive from the hands of the minister, and taste with my mouth the bread and cup of the Lord, as certain signs of the body and blood of Christ. Chorus 76: 76. What is it then to eat the crucified body, and drink the shed blood of Christ? It is not only to embrace with believing heart all the sufferings and death of Christ and thereby to obtain the pardon of sin, and life eternal; but also, besides that, to become more and more united to his sacred body, by the Holy Ghost, who dwells both in Christ and in us; so that we, though Christ is in heaven and we on earth, are notwithstanding "flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone" and that we live, and are governed forever by one spirit, as members of the same body are by one soul. Chorus 77: 77. Where has Christ promised that he will as certainly feed and nourish believers with his body and bleed, as they eat of this broken bread, and drink of this cup? In the institution of the supper. Chorus 78: 78. Do then the bread and wine become the very body and blood of Christ? Not at all. Chorus 79: 79. Why then doth Christ call the bread "his body", and the cup "his blood", or "the new covenant in his blood"; and Paul the "communion of body and blood of Christ"? Christ speaks thus, not without great reason, namely, not only thereby to teach us, that as bread and wine support this temporal life, so his crucified body and shed blood are the true meat and drink, whereby our souls are fed to eternal life. Chorus 80: 80. What difference is there between the Lord's supper and the popish mass? The Lord's supper testifies to us, that we have a full pardon of all sin by the only sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which he himself has once accomplished on the cross. Chorus 81: 81. For whom is the Lord's supper instituted? For those who are truly sorrowful for their sins, and yet trust that these are forgiven them for the sake of Christ; and that their remaining infirmities are covered by his passion and death; and who also earnestly desire to have their faith more and more strengthened, and their lives more holy; but hypocrites, and such as turn not to God with sincere hearts, eat and drink judgment to themselves. Chorus 82: 82. Are they also to be admitted to this supper, who, by confession and life, declare themselves unbelieving and ungodly? No; for by this, the covenant of God would be profaned, and his wrath kindled against the whole congregation. Chorus 83: 83. What are the keys of the kingdom of heaven? The preaching of the holy gospel, and christian discipline, or excommunication out of the christian church; by these two, the kingdom of heaven is opened to believers, and shut against unbelievers. Chorus 84: 84. How is the kingdom of heaven opened and shut by the preaching of the holy gospel? Thus: when according to the command of Christ, it is declared and publicly testified to all and every believer, that, whenever they receive the promise of the gospel by a true faith, all their sins are really forgiven them of God, for the sake of Christ's merits; and on the contrary, when it is declared and testified to all unbelievers, and such as do not sincerely repent, that they stand exposed to the wrath of God, and eternal condemnation, so long as they are unconverted. Chorus 85: 85. How is the kingdom of heaven shut and opened by Christian discipline? Thus: when according to the command of Christ, those, who under the name of christians, maintain doctrines, or practices inconsistent therewith, and will not, after having been often brotherly admonished, renounce their errors and wicked course of life, are complained of to the church, or to those, who are thereunto appointed by the church; and if they despise their admonition, are by them forbidden the use of the sacraments; whereby they are excluded from the christian church, and by God himself from the kingdom of Christ; and when they promise and show real amendment, are again received as members of Christ and his church. Chorus 86: 86. Since then we are delivered from our misery, merely of grace, through Christ, without any merit of ours, why must we still do good works? Because Christ, having redeemed and delivered us by his blood, also renews us by his Holy Spirit, after his own image; that so we may testify, by the whole of our conduct, our gratitude to God for his blessings. Chorus 87: 87. Cannot they then be saved, who, continuing in their wicked and ungrateful lives, are not converted to God? By no means; for the holy scripture declares that no unchaste person, idolater, adulterer, thief, covetous man, drunkard, slanderer, robber, or any such like, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Chorus 88: 88. Of how many parts does the true conversion of man consist? Of two parts; of the mortification of the old, and the quickening of the new man. Chorus 89: 89. What is the mortification of the old man? It is a sincere sorrow of heart, that we have provoked God by our sins; and more and more to hate and flee from them. Chorus 90: 90. What is the quickening of the new man? It is a sincere joy of heart in God, through Christ, and with love and delight to live according to the will of God in all good works. Chorus 91: 91. But what are good works? Only those which proceed from a true faith, are performed according to the law of God, and to his glory; and not such as are founded on our imaginations, or the institutions of men. Chorus 92: 92. What is the law of God? God spake all these words, Exodus 20:1-17 and Denteronomy 5:6-21, saying: I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 1st commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2nd commandment: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 3rd commandment: Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4th commandment: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 5th commandment: Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 6th commandment: Thou shalt not kill. 7th commandment: Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8th commandment: Thou shalt not steal. 9th commandment: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 10th commandment: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Chorus 93: 93. How are these commandments divided? Into two tables; the first of which teaches us how we must behave towards God; the second, what duties we owe to our neighbour. Chorus 94: 94. What does God enjoin in the first commandment? That I, as sincerely as I desire the salvation of my own soul, avoid and flee from all idolatry, sorcery, soothsaying, superstition, invocation of saints, or any other creatures; and learn rightly to know the only true God; trust in him alone, with humility and patience submit to him; expect all good things from him only; love, fear, and glorify him with my whole heart; so that I renounce and forsake all creatures, rather than commit even the least thing contrary to his will. Chorus 95: 95. What is idolatry? Idolatry is, instead of, or besides that one true God, who has manifested himself in his word, to contrive, or have any other object, in which men place their trust. Chorus 96: 96. What does God require in the second commandment? That we in no wise represent God by images , nor worship him in any other way than he has commanded in his word. Chorus 97: 97. Are images then not at all to be made? God neither can, nor may be represented by any means: but as to creatures; though they may be represented, yet God forbids to make, or have any resemblance of them, either in order to worship them or to serve God by them. Chorus 98: 98. But may not images be tolerated in the churches, as books to the laity? No: for we must not pretend to be wiser than God, who will have his people taught, not by dump images, but by the lively preaching of his word. Chorus 99: 99. What is required in the third commandment? That we, not only by cursing or perjury, but also by rash swearing, must not profane or abuse the name of God; nor by silence or connivance be partakers of these horrible sins in others; and, briefly, that we use the holy name of God no otherwise than with fear and reverence; so that he may be rightly confessed and worshipped by us, and be glorified in all our words and works. Chorus 100: 100. Is then the profaning of God's name, by swearing and cursing, so heinous a sin, that his wrath is kindled against those who do not endeavour, as much as in them lies, to prevent and forbid such cursing and swearing? It undoubtedly is, for there is no sin greater or more provoking to God, than the profaning of his name; and therefore he has commanded this sin to be punished with death. Chorus 101: 101. May we then swear religiously by the name of God? Yes, either when the magistrates demand it of the subjects; or when necessity requires us thereby to confirm a fidelity and truth to the glory of God, and the safety of our neighbour: for such an oath is founded on God's word, and therefore was justly used by the saints, both in the Old and New Testament. Chorus 102: 102. May we also swear by saints or any other creatures? No; for a lawful oath is calling upon God, as the only one who knows the heart, that he will bear witness to the truth, and punish me if I swear falsely; which honour is due to no creature. Chorus 103: 103. What does God require in the fourth commandment? First, that the ministry of the gospel and the schools be maintained; and that I, especially on the sabbath, that is, on the day of rest, diligently frequent the church of God, to hear his word, to use the sacraments, publicly to call upon the Lord, and contribute to the relief of the poor. Secondly, that all the days of my life I cease from my evil works, and yield myself to the Lord, to work by his Holy Spirit in me: and thus begin in this life the eternal sabbath. Chorus 104: 104. What does God require in the fifth commandment? That I show all honour, love and fidelity, to my father and mother, and all in authority over me, and submit myself to their good instruction and correction, with due obedience; and also patiently bear with their weaknesses and infirmities, since it pleases God to govern us by their hand. Chorus 105: 105. What does God require in the sixth commandment? That neither in thoughts, nor words, nor gestures, much less in deeds, I dishonour, hate, wound, or kill my neighbour, by myself or by another: but that I lay aside all desire of revenge: also, that I hurt not myself, nor wilfully expose myself to any danger. Wherefore also the magistrate is armed with the sword, to prevent murder. Chorus 106: 106. But this commandment seems only to speak of murder? In forbidding murder, God teaches us, that he abhors the causes thereof, such as envy, hatred, anger, and desire of revenge; and that he accounts all these as murder. Chorus 107: 107. But is it enough that we do not kill any man in the manner mentioned above? No: for when God forbids envy, hatred, and anger, he commands us to love our neighbour as ourselves; to show patience, peace, meekness, mercy, and all kindness, towards him, and prevent his hurt as much as in us lies; and that we do good, even to our enemies. Chorus 108: 108. What does the seventh commandment teach us? That all uncleanness is accursed of God: and that therefore we must with all our hearts detest the same, and live chastely and temperately, whether in holy wedlock, or in single life. Chorus 109: 109. Does God forbid in this commandment, only adultery, and such like gross sins? Since both our body and soul are temples of the holy Ghost, he commands us to preserve them pure and holy: therefore he forbids all unchaste actions, gestures, words, thoughts, desires, and whatever can entice men thereto. Chorus 110: 110. What does God forbid in the eighth commandment? God forbids not only those thefts, and robberies, which are punishable by the magistrate; but he comprehends under the name of theft all wicked tricks and devices, whereby we design to appropriate to ourselves the goods which belong to our neighbour: whether it be by force, or under the appearance of right, as by unjust weights, ells, measures, fraudulent merchandise, false coins, usury, or by any other way forbidden by God; as also all covetousness, all abuse and waste of his gifts. Chorus 111: 111. But what does God require in this commandment? That I promote the advantage of my neighbour in every instance I can or may; and deal with him as I desire to be dealt with by others: further also that I faithfully labour, so that I may be able to relieve the needy. Chorus 112: 112. What is required in the ninth commandment? That I bear false witness against no man, nor falsify any man's words; that I be no backbiter, nor slanderer; that I do not judge, nor join in condemning any man rashly, or unheard; but that I avoid all sorts of lies and deceit, as the proper works of the devil, unless I would bring down upon me the heavy wrath of God; likewise, that in judgment and all other dealings I love the truth, speak it uprightly and confess it; also that I defend and promote, as much as I am able, the horror and good character of my neighbour. Chorus 113: 113. What does the tenth commandment require of us? That even the smallest inclination or thought, contrary to any of God's commandments, never rise in our hearts; but that at all times we hate all sin with our whole heart, and delight in all righteousness. Chorus 114: 114. But can those who are converted to God perfectly keep these commandments? No: but even the holiest men, while in this life, have only a small beginning of this obedience; yet so, that with a sincere resolution they begin to live, not only according to some, but all the commandments of God. Chorus 115: 115. Why will God then have the ten commandments so strictly preached, since no man in this life can keep them? First, that all our lifetime we may learn more and more to know our sinful nature, and thus become the more earnest in seeking the remission of sin, and righteousness in Christ; likewise, that we constantly endeavour and pray to God for the grace of the Holy Spirit, that we may become more and more conformable to the image of God, till we arrive at the perfection proposed to us, in a life to come. Chorus 116: 116. Why is prayer necessary for Christians? Because it is the chief part of thankfulness which God requires of us: and also, because God will give his grace and Holy Spirit to those only, who with sincere desires continually ask them of him, and are thankful for them. Chorus 117: 117. What are the requisites of that prayer, which is acceptable to God, and which he will hear? First, that we from the heart pray to the one true God only, who has manifested himself in his word, for all things, he has commanded us to ask of him; secondly, that we rightly and thoroughly know our need and misery, that so we may deeply humble ourselves in the presence of his divine majesty; thirdly, that we be fully persuaded that he, notwithstanding that we are unworthy of it, will, for the sake of Christ our Lord, certainly hear our prayer, as he has promised us in his word. Chorus 118: 118. What has God commanded us to ask of him? All things necessary for soul and body; which Christ our Lord has comprised in that prayer he himself has taught us. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Matt.6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Chorus 119: 119. What are the words of that prayer? Our Father which art in heaven, 1 Hallowed be thy name. 2 Thy kingdom come. 3 Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. 4 Give us this day our daily bread. 5 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 6 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Chorus 120: 120. Why has Christ commanded us to address God thus: "Our Father"? That immediately, in the very beginning of our prayer, he might excite in us a childlike reverence for, and confidence in God, which are the foundation of our prayer: namely, that God is become our Father in Christ, and will much less deny us what we ask of him in true faith, than our parents will refuse us earthly things. Chorus 121: 121. Why is it here added, "Which art in heaven"? Lest we should form any earthly conceptions of God's heavenly majesty, and that we may expect from his almighty power all things necessary for soul and body. Chorus 122: 122. Which is the first petition? "Hallowed be thy name"; that is, grant us, first, rightly to know thee, and to sanctify, glorify and praise thee, in all thy works, in which thy power, wisdom, goodness, justice, mercy and truth, are clearly displayed; and further also, that we may so order and direct our whole lives, our thoughts, words and actions, that thy name may never be blasphemed, but rather honoured and praised on our account. Chorus 123: 123. Which is the second petition? "Thy kingdom come"; that is, rule us so by thy word and Spirit, that we may submit ourselves more and more to thee; preserve and increase thy church; destroy the works of the devil, and all violence which would exalt itself against thee; and also all wicked counsels devised against thy holy word; till the full perfection of thy kingdom take place, wherein thou shalt be all in all. Chorus 124: 124. Which is the third petition? "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"; that is, grant that we and all men may renounce our own will, and without murmuring obey thy will, which is only good; that every one may attend to, and perform the duties of his station and calling, as willingly and faithfully as the angels do in heaven. Chorus 125: 125. Which is the fourth petition? "Give us this day our daily bread"; that is, be pleased to provide us with all things necessary for the body, that we may thereby acknowledge thee to be the only fountain of all good, and that neither our care nor industry, nor even thy gifts, can profit us without thy blessing; and therefore that we may withdraw our trust from all creatures, and place it alone in thee. Chorus 126: 126. Which is the fifth petition? "And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors"; that is, be pleased for the sake of Christ's blood, not to impute to us poor sinners, our transgressions, nor that depravity, which always cleaves to us; even as we feel this evidence of thy grace in us, that it is our firm resolution from the heart to forgive our neighbour. Chorus 127: 127. Which is the sixth petition? "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil"; that is, since we are so weak in ourselves, that we cannot stand a moment; and besides this, since our mortal enemies, the devil, the world, and our own flesh, cease not to assault us, do thou therefore preserve and strengthen us by the power of thy Holy Spirit, that we may not be overcome in this spiritual warfare, but constantly and strenuously may resist our foes, till at last we obtain a complete victory. Chorus 128: 128. How dost thou conclude thy prayer? "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever"; that is, all these we ask of thee, because thou, being our King and almighty, art willing and able to give us all good; and all this we pray for, that thereby not we, but thy holy name, may be glorified for ever. Chorus 129: 129. What does the word "Amen" signify? "Amen" signifies, it shall truly and certainly be: for my prayer is more assuredly heard of God, than I feel in my heart that I desire these things of him.

Verse 2: His Name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice. I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal as happy as I, My summer would last all the year. Verse 3: Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of season or place Would make any change in my mind: While blessed with a sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; All prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. Verse 4: Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine, If Thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine? And why are my winters so long? O drive these dark clouds from the sky, Thy soul cheering presence restore; Or take me to Thee up on high, Where winter and clouds are no more.

How much better thou'rt attended, Than the Son of God could be, When from heaven He descended, And became a child like thee! Verse 2: Soft and easy is thy cradle, Coarse and hard thy Savior lay: When His birthplace was a stable, And His softest bed was hay. Oh, to tell the wondrous story, How His foes abused their King; How they killed the Lord of glory, Makes me angry while I sing. Verse 3: Hush, my child, I did not chide thee, Though my song may seem so hard; 'Tis thy mother sits beside thee, And her arms shall be thy guard.

Verse 6: And O, when I have safely past, Through every conflict but the last; Still, still unchanging, watch beside My painful bed, for Thou hast died; Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe the latest tear way.

Then He lifted my feet, gave me glory complete, When He reached down His hand for me, for me. Verse 3: How my heart doth rejoice, since I made Him my choice, From the tempest to Him now I flee. Now I lean on His arm, I'm secure from all harm. Since He reached down His hand for me, for me. Verse 4: Since the Lord gave me peace, heavenly joys never cease, Lord I give all my life unto Thee. Guide my feet, hold my hand, And grant with Thee I may stand. For You reached down Your hand for me, for me. Chorus 1: When He reached down His hand for me, When He reached down His hand for me, I was lost and undone without God or His Son, When He reached down His hand for me.
