84 | What is the third commandment? |
The third commandment is, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. |
85 | What does the third commandment teach me? | To reverence God’s name, word, and works. |
God’s commandment number three
Requires my speaking be rev’rently.
I must never God’s holy name
Use carelessly, hastily or in vain.
All of God’s words and all of God’s ways
Must all of His creatures respect always;
Sure is God’s wrath for those who won’t
Most guilty are sinners who know but don’t!
