110 Fear, my child, thy God and Lord
1 Fear, my child, thy God and Lord,
And revere His name and word,
Holy keep the Sabbath day,
Honor to thy parents pay,
Kill not, shun adultery,
Steal not, lies and slander flee,
Keep from covetousness free.
2 In the Father I believe,
Who to all did being give,
And in Jesus Christ His Son,
Who for man redemption won;
And my faith I also place
In the Holy Ghost, whose grace
Sanctifies our souls and ways.
3 Father, throned in heaven above,
Hallowed be Thy name in love;
Let Thy kingdom come, we pray,
And Thy will be done alway;
Give us food, forgiveness send,
In temptations aid extend,
Save us, Thou, when comes our end.
