The six chief parts of Luther's Small Catechism are included on the links to the left.  In addition on each page is the hymn Luther wrote to go with each of the six chief parts with the music and text.

Lord, Help Us Ever to Retain

1. Lord, help us ever to retain
   The Catechism's doctrine plain
   As Luther taught the Word of truth
   In simple style to tender youth.
    

2. Help us Your holy Law to learn,
   To mourn our sin and from it turn
   In faith to You and to Your Son
   And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
    

3. Hear us, dear Father, when we pray
   For needed help from day to day
   That as Your children we may live,
   Whom You baptized and so received.
    

4. Lord, when we fall or go astray,
   Absolve and lift us up, we pray;
   And through the Sacrament increase
   Our faith till we depart in peace.
