Ten Commandments by George vP
This hymn on the Ten Commandments is based on the explanation of the Decalogue (Ten Words) as found in Questions and Answers 92-115 of the Heidelberg Catechism. (This Reformation catechism can be viewed here: http://www.heidelberg-catechism.com/en/) One of the beauties of this Calvinistic catechism is that it explains the Decalogue as a way for Christians to show themselves thankful for the saving work of Christ. We do not obey the law of God in order to effect our salvation (a works righteousness); rather, we obey the law to show the Lord and our neighbour how thankful we are for the work that Christ fully and freely did for us.
