The Soul ruined

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14:2 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.

Death may dissolve my body now

Author: Isaac Watts; Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: [Death may dissolve my body now, And bear my spirit home; Why do my minutes move so slow, Nor my salvation come? With heav'nly weapons I have fought The battles of the Lord; Finished my course, and kept the faith, And wait the sure reward.] God has laid up in heav'n for me A crown which cannot fade; The righteous Judge at that great day Shall place it on my head. Nor hath the King of grace decreed This prize for me alone; But all that love and long to see Th' appearance of his Son. Jesus the Lord shall guard me safe From every ill design; And to his heav'nly kingdom keep This feeble soul of mine. God is my everlasting aid, And hell shall rage in vain; To him be highest glory paid And endless praise--Amen.

Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl

Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl, den rechten Gott wir meinen, doch ist ihr Herz Unglaubens voll, mit That sie Ihn verneinen. Ihr Wesen ist verderbet zwar, für Gott ist es ein Gräuel gar, es thut ihr'r keiner kein Gut. 2 Gott selbst vom Himmel sah herab auf aller Menschen Kinden, zu schaen sie Er sich begab, ob Er jemand würd' finden, der sein'n Verstand gerichtet hätt', mit Ernst nach Gottes Worten thät, und fragt nach seinem Willen. 3 Da war niemand auf rechter Bahn, sie war'n all' ausgeschritten, ein jeder ging nach seinem Wahn und hielt verlorne Sitten. Es thät ihr'r keiner doch kein Gut, wiewohl gar viel betrog der Muth, ihr Thun sollt' Gott gefallen. 4 Wie lang' wollen unwissen sein, die solche Müh' aufladen, und fressen dafür das Volk mein, und nähr'n sich mit sein'm Schaden? Es steht ihr Trauen nicht auf Gott, sie rufen Ihm nicht in der Noth, sie woll'n sich selbs versorgen. 5 Darum ist ihr Herz nimmer still, und steht all'zeit in Furchten, Gott bei den Frommen bleiben will, dem sie mit Glauben g'horchen. Ihr aber schmäht des Armen Rath, und höhnet alles, was er sagt, daß Gott sein Trost ist worden. 6 Wer soll Israel dem Armen zu Zion Heil erlangen? Gott wird sich sein's Volks erbarmen, und lösen die Gefangenen. Das wird Er thun durch seinen Sohn, davon wird Jacob Wonne han, und Israel sich freuen. 7 Ehr' sei Gott Vater allezeit, auch Christo eingeboren, und dem Tröster, heiligem Geist, gar hoch in's Himmels Throne, wie es im Anfang und auch jetzt gewesen ist und bleibet stets, bis an der Welt End', Amen.
