Indulgent God! with pitying eye

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Indulgent God! with pitying eyes The sons of men survey. Alas! how thoughtless mortals sport In sin's destructive way! 2 Ten thousand dangers lurk around, To bear them to the tomb: Each passing hour may place them where, Repentance cannot come. 3 Reclaim, O Lord! their wand'ring minds, Amus'd with airy dreams; That heav'nly wisdom may dispel Their visionary schemes. 4 Guide and direct them by word, Their dang'rous state to see; That they may seek and find the path, That leads to heav'n and thee.

Though I should seek to wash me clean

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Though I should seek to wash me clean In waters of the driven snow, My soul would yet in spots retain, And sink in conscious guilt and wo: 2 The spirit, in his power divine, Would cast my vaunting soul to earth, Expose the foulness of its sin, And show the vileness of its worth. 3 Ah, not like erring man is God, That men to answer him should dare. Condemn'd, and into silence awed, They helpless stand before his bar. 4 There, must a Mediator plead, Who, God and man, may both embrace; With God, for man to intercede, And offer man the purchased grace. 5 And lo! the Son of God is slain To be this Mediator crown'd: In Him, my soul, be cleansed from stain, In Him thy righteousness be found. Scripture: Job 9:30-33

Buried in shadows of the night
