What Is Thy Only Comfort?

L and N are memorizing the Heidelberg Catechism in Sunday school. The first question is my favorite and they're getting it down pretty well.
(Thanks to Mr. Lockyear, for putting it to music to help us!)

Question 1. What is thy only comfort in life and death?

Answer. That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ; who, with his precious blood, hath fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, and therefore, by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him.

That's great! So, what, there are like two questions in the Heidelberg catechism? ;) That's going to be one long tune after a few questions! Maybe it will be more like the Heidelberg Ode or Epic Poetry?
