Definitions and Aids to Memory for the Catechism Dr Cummings

Acrr OF FAITH. GREAT God! whatever through Thy Church Thou teachest to be true, I firmly do believe it all, And shall confess it too. Thou never canst deceived be, Thou never canst deceive, For Thou art truth itself, and Thou Dost tell me to believe. ACT OF HOPE. My God! I firmly hope in Thee, For Thou art great and good, And gayest us Thine only Son To die upon the rood. I hope through him for grace to live As Thy comlnandments teach, And through Thy mercy when I die, The joys of heaven to reach. ACT OF LOVE. With all my heart, and soul, and strength, I love Thee, 0 my Lord, For Thou art perfect, and all things Were made by Thy blest Word. Like me to Thine own image made, My neighbor Thou didst make, And as I love myself, I love My neighbor for Thy sake.
