Saint and sinner, hear with awe:
Ten Commandments God alone
With His finger wrote in stone.<\/p>\n
Love to God , and charity
To thy neigbbour , this with all
Heart, and strength, and mind and soul.<\/p>\n
In thy sinful heart is left
Witness of His Law to find
In thy conscience and thy mind.<\/p>\n
In the Scriptures Ten Commands;
Hear with trembling fear and dread:
"GOD spake all these words and said"<\/p>\n
Who from bondage set Thee free:
Other gods are vanity-
Thou shalt worship none but Me!"<\/p>\n
From my glory; do not make
Form or likeness unto thee,
From the heaven or earth or sea:<\/p>\n
Pray nor give thy service low:
Jealous is my Name, the LORD
All will-worship shall reward.<\/p>\n
Shall endure My judgments sore,
For the vile iniquity
That their fathers do to Me."<\/p>\n
Thousand generations more
Of them all who keep My Law
And shall love My Name with awe."<\/p>\n
Take My Holy Name in vain:
For I shall not guiltless hold
Brasen blasphemers or bold.<\/p>\n
And remember then to pay,
Praise and thanks in worship true
To My Name, the glory due.<\/p>\n
One in seven, shalt thou rest,
Thou, thou house and family,
From all care and work set free.<\/p>\n
Earth and seas did I create.
With their fullness, then I ceased
On the seventh, to rest in peace.<\/p>\n
Have I hallowed for My praise;
On the Sabbath Day I blessed,
Thou shalt worship and shalt rest!"<\/p>\n
And thy mother, that to live
Long upon the earth thou may
Know my blessing every day."<\/p>\n
Do no murder, do not kill –
And of hate in hand or heart
To thy neighbour have no part.<\/p>\n
These abominations be:
These do not commit, but flee:
Keep thy heart in purity."<\/p>\n
Treacherouly thou shalt not deal
With thy neighbour’s goods but seek
Mercy for the poor and weak.<\/p>\n
To thy neighbour" but have care
His good name and truth to guard,
In thine oath and every word.<\/p>\n
Ox, nor ass": his place in life
In my wisdom I ordained.
True contentment is thy gain.<\/p>\n
All the knowledge of our sins:
Labouring ‘neath its guilt and curse,
For God’s righteousness we thirst.<\/p>\n
Faith in Christ alone our plea:
Cursed upon the Tree of shame,
Christ our Righteousness became.<\/p>\n
Justifies, brings peace with God:
Thus the Law fulfilled is o’er
In its hell-condemning power.<\/p>\n
Under this same Law to Christ:
Who our matchless King of peace
Rules us by the Law in grace.<\/p>\n
Unto sin we now are dead;
Now alive in Christ we joy
All His precepts to obey.<\/p>\n
All the Law’s most holy will:
Jesu’s Blood will cleanse from sin
O’er the flesh the Spirit win.<\/p>\n
Worketh both to will and do:
Trust the Saviour then, obey
All His precepts, watch and pray.<\/p>\n
His own Blood has paid the price
For all sins against the Law:
Turn and trust Him, joy with awe!<\/p>\n
High the call of God we see:
Lord, this prayer we raise to Thee:
"Grant Thy Law most graciously!"<\/p>\n
None Thy face shall ever see
Christ is made our holiness:
With Thee let us rest in bliss!<\/p>\n
All creation to their King:
All earth’s fullness, sea and sky,
Now Jehovah magnify!<\/p>\n
Father, Holy Spirit, Son
Bring we praise eternally,
God Most Holy Trinity!
