Which is the fifth commandment?
The fifth commandment is, Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.[1]
Rebecca Stark is the author of The Good Portion: God, the second title in The Good Portion series.
The Good Portion: God explores what Scripture teaches about God in hopes that readers will see his perfection, worth, magnificence, and beauty as they study his triune nature, infinite attributes, and wondrous works.
The fifth commandment is, Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.[1]
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell….
For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily…. (Colossians 1:19, 2:9 ESV)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8 ESV)
We did sing out of the hymnal this morning, but only one selection was a hymn with words I can find online and that is one I featured here only a couple of months ago. So I’m going to post another of the favorite hymns of my youth instead.
Lead Me to Calvary
King of my life, I crown Thee now,
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Refrain
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.
Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.
May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me.
You can hear this hymn sung in this video. And I enjoyed this a lot more if I ignored the…uhm…video.
