IO.. Thy neighbor's house desire thou not,
His wife, nor aught that he has got;
But wish that his such good may be,
As thine own heart desires for thee.

Kyrie eleison.

11. God these commandments gave, therein
To show thee, child of man, thy sin,
And make thee also well perceive
How unto God man ought to live.

Kyrie eleison.

12. Help us, Lord Jesus Christ, for we
Our Mediator have in The;

Our works can ne'er salvation gain,
They merit only endless pain.

Kyrie eleison.

Luther.

1. WE ALL believe in one true God,
Maker of the earth and heaven,
The Father, who to us in love
Hath the right of children given.
He both soul and body feedeth,
All we want His hand provides us;
Through the snares and perils leadeth,

Watches that no harm betide us;
He cares for us by day and night,
All things are governed by His might.

2. And we believe in God's own Son,
Jesus Christ, our Lord, possessing
An equal Godhead, might, and throne,
Source of every joy and blessing;
Conceived of the Holy Spirit,
Born of Mary, virgin mother;
That lost man might life inherit
Made true man, our elder brother
Was crucified for sinful men,
By God raised up to life again.

3. And we confess the Holy Ghost,
Who sweet grace and comfort giveth,
And with the Father and the Son
In eternal glory liveth;

Who all Christendom doth even
Keep in unity and spirit;

Sins are truly here forgiven.

Through the blessed Redeemer's merit;
Our flesh will rise again, and we
Shall live with God eternally. Amen.

Luther.

1. OUR FATHER dear in heaven above,
Who biddest us to dwell in love,
As brethren of one family,

And pray for all we need to Thee;
Teach us to mean the words we say,
And from our inmost heart to pray.

2. Thy name be hallowed! help us, Lord, To keep in purity Thy word,

And lead, according to Thy name,
A holy life, untouched by blame;
Let no false doctrines do us hurt,
All poor deluded souls convert.
3. Thy kingdom come! Thine let it be
In time, and through eternity!
O let Thy Holy Spirit dwell

With us, to rule and guide us well;
Break Satan's power, his rage restrain,
Despite his craft Thy church maintain.
4. Thy will be done, Lord God, in love
On earth, as 't is in heaven above!
Patience in time of grief bestow,
Obedience true in weal and woe,
Curb flesh and blood, and every ill
That sets itself against Thy will.

5. Give us this day our daily bread
And all that for this life we need!
From war and strife be our defence,
From famine and from pestilence,
That we may live in godly peace,
Free from all care and avarice.

6. Lord, all our trespasses forgive,
That they our hearts no more may grieve,
As we forgive their trespasses

Who unto us have done amiss;
Let us delight in serving Thee
In perfect love and unity.

7. Into temptation lead us not!

And when the foe doth war and plot
Against our souls on every hand,

Then, armed with faith, O may we stand
Against him as a valiant host,
Through comfort of the Holy Ghost.

8. Deliver us from evil, Lord!

In these sad times Thy help afford;
O save us from eternal death,
Console us when we yield our breath;
Grant us a blessed end, and take
Our souls to Thee for Jesus' sake.

9. Amen! that is, so let it be!
Increase our faith continually,
That doubting not we may believe
That what we ask we shall receive;
Thus at Thy name and at Thy word
We say Amen; O hear us, Lord!

58

1. BLESSED Jesus, here we stand,
Met to do as. Thou hast spoken,
And this child, at Thy command,
Now we bring to Thee, in token
That to Thee it here is given;
For of such shall be Thy heaven.

2. Yea, Thy warning voice is plain,
And with solemn awe we hear it:
"He who is not born again
Of the water and the Spirit
In Thy fold no place is given,
Can not enter realm of heaven."

3. Therefore hasten we to Thee,

Take the pledge we bring, O take it,
Show Thy glorious mercy free,
And in tender pity make it

Luther.
