The Soul ruined

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #221 (1890) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: How sad our state by nature is! Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin how deep it stains! And Satan holds our captive minds Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace, Sounds from the sacred word; "Ho! ye despairing sinners, come, And trust a pardoning Lord." 3 My soul obeys the almighty call, And runs to this relief; I would believe thy promise, Lord; Oh, help my unbelief! 4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall; Be thou my Strength and Righteousness, My Saviour and my All.

Or dream of future happiness, While on the road to hell? 2 Shall they hosannas sing, With an unhallowed tongue? Shall palms adorn the guilty hand Which does its neighbor wrong? 3 Thy grace, O God, alone, Good hope can e'er afford! The pardoned and the pure shall see The glory of the Lord.

"All downward"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #227 (1890) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: Like sheep we went astray Lyrics: 1 Like sheep we went astray, And broke the fold of God Each wandering in a different way, But all the downward road. 2 How dreadful was the hour, When God our wanderings laid, And did at once his vengeance pour Upon the Shepherd's head! 3 How glorious was the grace, When Christ sustained the stroke! His life and blood the Shepherd pays, A ransom for the flock. 4 But God shall raise his head, O'er all the sons of men, And make him see a numerous seed, To recompense his pain. Languages: English

"Jesus only"

Probation

Utter helplessness

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #220 (1890) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Nor all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has given, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven. 2 The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace; Born is the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race. 3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind, Breathes on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. 4 Our quickened souls awake and rise From the long sleep of death; On heavenly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.

Deut. 30:19

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #224 (1890) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: Oh, where shall rest be found Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh: 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace! Teach us that death to shun; Lest we be banished from thy face, And evermore undone. Languages: English Tune Title: SHAWMUT

A Physician wanted

Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #225 (1890) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: And wilt thou hear, O Lord Lyrics: 1 And wilt thou hear, O Lord, Thy suppliant people's cry? And pardon, though thy book record Our crimes of crimson dye? 2 So deep are they engraved, So terrible their fear: The righteous scarcely shall be saved, And where shall we appear? 3 Let us make all things known To him who all things sees: That so his blood may yet atone For our iniquities. 4 O thou, Physician blest, Make clean the guilty soul; And us, by many a sin oppressed, Restore, and keep us whole!

The load of Sin

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #222 (1890) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: How helpless guilty nature lies Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart, unchanged, can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue? 'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine, To form the heart anew. 3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason's darkened eyes; 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live; A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give. 5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine; Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord! be thine.

"No other name"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #223 (1890) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: Not all the blood of beasts Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ the heavenly Lamb Takes all our sins away, A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burdens thou didst bear, When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there. 5 Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing his dying love.
