My former hopes are fled
Author: William Cowper Appears in 130 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 My former hopes are fled,
My terror now begins;
I feel, alas! that I am dead
In trespasses and sins.
2 Ah! whither shall I fly?
I hear the thunder roar;
The law proclaims destruction nigh,
And vengeance at the door.
3 When I review my ways,
I dread impending doom
Until a friendly whisper says
"Flee from the wrath to come." Used With Tune: OLMUTZ
My former hopes are fled
How sad our state by nature is
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life 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;
O, help my unbelief!
4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
In thy kind arms I fall;
Be thou my Strength and Righteousness,
My Saviour and my All. Used With Tune: MELODY
How sad our state by nature is
Deep are the wounds which sin has made
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 165 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin has made;
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas! is nature's aid;
The work exceeds her utmost power.
2 But can no sovereign balm be found,
And is no kind physician nigh,
To ease the pain, and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope forever fly?
3 There is a great Physician near;
Look up, O fainting soul, and live;
See, in his heavenly smiles appear
Such help as nature cannot give. Used With Tune: WINDHAM
Deep are the wounds which sin has made
Is this the kind return
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 213 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Is this the kind return,
Are these the thanks we owe,
Thus to abuse eternal love,
Whence all our blessings flow?
2 To what a stubborn frame
Has sin reduced our mind!
What strange rebellious wretches we,
And God as strangely kind!
3 Turn, turn us, mighty God,
And mold our souls afresh;
Break, sovereign grace, these hearts of stone,
And give us hearts of flesh. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ
Is this the kind return
Not all the outward forms on earth
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 154 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Not 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 in 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. Used With Tune: MELODY
Not all the outward forms on earth
Shall the vile race of flesh and blood
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Shall this vile race of flesh and blood
Contend with their Creator, God?
Shall mortal worms presume to be
More holy, wise, or just, than he?
2 From night to day, from day to night,
We die by thousands in thy sight?
Buried in dust whole nations lie,
Like a forgotten vanity.
3 Almighty Power, to thee we bow;
How frail are we! how glorious thou!
No more the sons of earth shall dare
With an eternal God compare. Used With Tune: WINDHAM
Shall the vile race of flesh and blood
When wounded sore, the stricken soul
Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 104 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore, the stricken soul
Lies bleeding and unbound,
One only hand a pierced hand
Can heal the sinner's wound.
2 When sorrow swells the laden breast,
And tears of anguish flow,
One only heart a broken heart
Can feel the sinner's woe.
3 When penitence has wept in vain
Over some foul, dark spot,
One only stream a stream of blood
Can wash away the blot.
4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white,
His hand that brings relief;
His heart that's touched with all our joys,
And feels for all our grief.
5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord!
Unseal that cleansing tide;
We have no shelter from our sin
But in thy wounded side. Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS
When wounded sore, the stricken soul

How great the wisdom, power, and grace
Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life; The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 How great the wisdom, power, and grace,
Which in redemption shine!
The heavenly host with joy confess
The work is all divine.
2 Before His feet they cast their crowns,
Those crowns which Jesus gave,
And with ten thousand thousand tongues,
Proclaim his power to save.
3 They tell the triumphs of his cross,
The suffering which he bore;
How low he stooped, how high he rose,
And rose to stoop no more.
4 With them let us our voices raise,
And still the song renew;
Salvation well deserves the praise
Of men and angels too. Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS
How great the wisdom, power, and grace
Like sheep we went astray
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life 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. Used With Tune: SHAWMUT
Like sheep we went astray
