6. Have Mercy, Lord (4:24)
That man a godly life might live
God did these Ten Commandments give
By His true servant Moses, high
Upon the Mount Sinai

I am thy God and Lord alone
No other God before Me own
Put thy whole confidence in Me
And love Me e'er cordially

By idle word and speech profane
Take not My holy name in vain
And praise but that as good and true
Which I Myself say and do

Hallow the day which God hath blest
That thou and all thy house may rest
Keep hand and heart from labor free
That God may so work in thee

Give to thy parents honor due
But dutiful, and loving, too
And help them when their strength decays
So shalt thou have length of days
Have mercy, Lord!

Kill thou not out of evil will
Nor hate, nor render ill for ill
Be patient and of gentle mood
And to thy foe do thou good

Be faithful to thy marriage vows
Thy heart give only to thy spouse
Thy life keep pure, and lest thou sin
Use temperance and discipline

Steal not; oppressive acts abhor
Nor wring their life blood from the poor
But open wide thy loving hand
To all the poor in the land

Have mercy, Lord

Bear not false witness nor belie
Thy neighbor by foul calumny
Defend his innocence from blame
With charity hide his shame

Thy neighbor's house desire thou not
His wife, nor aught that he hath got
But wish that his such good may be
As thy heart doth wish for thee

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

Help us, Lord Jesus Christ, for we
A mediator have in Thee
Our works cannot salvation gain
They merit but endless pain

Have mercy, Lord!
