How sad our state by nature is
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #371 (1886) 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. Tune Title: MELODY
How sad our state by nature is
Lord, we are vile, and full of sin
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #362 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, we are vile, and full of sin,
We're born unholy and unclean;
Spring from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts his race, and taints us all.
2 Soon as we draw our infant breath
The seeds of sin grow up for death;
Thy law demands a perfect heart,
But we're defiled in every part.
3 Behold, we fall before thy face;
Our only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make us clean;
The leprosy lies deep within.
4 Nor bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
Nor hyssop branch, nor earthly priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.
5 Jesus, thy blood, thy blood alone,
Hath power sufficient to atone;
Thy blood can make us white as snow;
No other tide can cleanse us so. Tune Title: WINDHAM
Lord, we are vile, and full of sin
Deep are the wounds which sin has made
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #363 (1886) 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. Tune Title: WINDHAM
Deep are the wounds which sin has made
Shall the vile race of flesh and blood
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #364 (1886) 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. Tune Title: WINDHAM
Shall the vile race of flesh and blood
When, marshaled on the nightly plain
Author: Henry Kirke White Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #365 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering host bestud the sky,
One star alone of all the train
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
2 Once on the raging seas I rode;
The storm was loud, the night was dark,
The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed
The wind that tossed my foundering bark.
3 Deep horror than my vitals froze;
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;
When suddenly a star arose,
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
4 It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bade my dark forebodings cease;
And through the storm and danger's thrall
It led me to the port of peace. Tune Title: MISSIONARY CHANT
When, marshaled on the nightly plain
Infinite love! what precious stores
Author: Jared Waterbury Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #367 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Infinite Love! what precious stores
Thy mercy has prepared for us!
The costliest gems, the richest ores,
Could never have endowed us thus.
2 But thy soft hand, O gracious Lord,
Can draw from suffering souls the sting;
And thy rich bounty to our board
Can bread for hungering sinners bring.
3 How rich the grace! the gift how free!
'Tis only "ask," it shall be given;
"Tis only "knock," and thou shalt see
The opening door that leads to heaven.
4 O then arise, and take the good,
So full and freely proffered thee,
Remembering that it cost the blood
Of Him who died on Calvary.
Tune Title: MISSIONARY CHANT
Infinite love! what precious stores
Against the God that rules the sky
Author: Jehoida Brewer Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #368 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Against the God that rules the sky
I fought, with weapons lifted high;
I madly ran the sinful race,
Regardless of a hiding-place.
2 But a celestial voice I heard,
A bleeding Saviour then appeared;
Led by the Spirit of his grace,
I found in him a hiding-place.
3 On him the weight of vengeance fell
That else had sunk a world to hell;
Then, O my soul, forever praise
Thy Saviour, God, thy hiding-place! Tune Title: MISSIONARY CHANT
Against the God that rules the sky
Not all the outward forms on earth
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #369 (1886) 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. Tune Title: MELODY
Not all the outward forms on earth
How helpless guilty nature lies
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #373 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life 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 Oh change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord! be thine. Tune Title: MONSON
How helpless guilty nature lies
In vain we seek for peace with God
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #374 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 In vain we seek for peace with God
By methods of our own:
No other plea than Jesus' blood
Can bring us near the throne.
2 The threatenings of the broken law
Impress the soul with dread;
If God his sword of vengeance draw,
It strikes the spirit dead.
3 But thine illustrious sacrifice
Hath answered these demands,
And peace and pardon from the skies
Are offered by thy hands.
4 'Tis by thy death we live, O Lord!
'Tis on thy cross we rest:
Forever be thy love adored,
Thy name forever blessed. Tune Title: MONSON
In vain we seek for peace with God
