MAN. Hymn. Original Sin. BACKWARD with humble shame we look On our original! How is our nature dash'd and broke 2 To all that's good averse and blind; What dreadful darkness veils our mind! 3 Yet, mighty GOD! Thy wondrous love While CHRIST and grace prevail above 4 The second ADAM shall restore Hosanna to that sov'reign Pow'r, 1 Hymn. Our fallen state by Nature. How sad our state by nature is! 2 But there's a voice of sov'reign grace 3 O may we hear th' Almighty call, We would believe Thy promise, LORD; 4 To the blest fountain of Thy blood 5 Stretch out Thine arm, victorious King, Our reigning sins subdue; Drive the old dragon from his seat, 6 Poor, guilty, weak, and helpless worms, On Thy kind arm we fall; Be Thou our strength and righteousness, Hymn. Our fallen state by Nature. 1 GREAT King of glory and of grace, We own with humble shame, How vile is our degenerate race, And our first father's name. 2 From Adam flows our tainted blood, 3 We live estrang'd afar from GOD, With haste we run the dang'rous road 4 And can such rebels be restor❜d? 5 We praise our FATHER'S Name on high, Hymn. Helplessness of fallen Man. 1 How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of it's load! The heart unchang'd can never rise 2 The will perverse, the passions blind, 3 Can aught beneath a pow'r divine 4 O shine on us, with quick'ning ray, Hymn. Deceitfulness of Sin. 1 SIN has a thousand treacherous arts 2 With names of virtue she deceives And while the heedless wretch believes, 3 She pleads for all the joys she brings, But cheats the soul of heav'nly things, 4 So on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood. 1 Hymn. Enmity of fallen Man. ALAS! by nature how deprav'd! Our lives to Satan how enslav'd! 2 And can such sinners be restor❜d? Can grace itself the means afford 3 Yes, grace has found the wondrous means, To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love. 4 JESUS for sinners-undertakes, 5 The holy SPIRIT must reveal The SAVIOUR's work and worth; Then the hard heart begins to feel A new and heav'nly birth. 6 Thus, bought with blood, and born again, Redeem'd and sav'd by grace, Rebels in GOD's own house obtain |
