The Fall of man

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XXVII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 3 First Line: On man, in his own image made Lyrics: 1 On man, in his own image made, How much did God bestow; The whole creation homage paid, And own'd him, lord below! 2 But oh! by sin how quickly chang'd! His peace and honor fled, His heart from GOD and truth estrang'd, His conscience fill'd with dread! 3 Now from his Maker's voice he fled, Which was before his joy; And thought to hide his guilty head, From all all-seeing eye. 4 Compell'd to answer to his name, With stubborness and pride He cast on God himself the blame, Nor once for mercy cry'd. 5 But grace, unask'd his heart subdu'd, And all his guilt forgave; By faith the promis'd seed he view'd, And felt its pow'r to save.

A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoy'd! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to bear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

And the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCVI (1799) Scripture: Numbers 21:4 First Line: How many and great are the foes which infest Lyrics: 1 How many and great are the foes which infest The way thro' this world to the Canaan of rest? The traveller ever his Lord would obey, Yet oft is discourag'd because of the way. 2 Though Satan, the world, and corruptions combine, And try to prevent the poor Pilgrim's design; They cannot destroy, though they often betray, And make him discourag'd because of the way. 3 When good he would do, imperfections abound, His graces are weak, and temptations surround; For many turn back, and would lead him astray, Which makes him discourag'd because of the way. 4 Yet why should the Christian of Canaan despair, Perplex'd or alarm'd with dishonoring fear? Let him but his map and his leader obey, Nor more be discourag'd because of the way. 5 In Christ inexhaustible treasures are stor'd, And Jesus will suitable blessings afford; Then why should the Pilgrim be fill'd with dismay? Or why be discourag'd because of the way? 6 Unquenchable love and omnipotent pow'r, Will land him ere long on the heav'nly shore; There pleasure eternal will amply repay For all the discouragements found in the way.

Are these the toils thy people know, While in the wilderness below? 6 'Tis even so, thy faithful love Doth all thy children's graces prove; 'Tis thus our pride and self must fall, That Jesus may be all in all.

Sever'd from him, their better life, How can his children live? 5 Hence, all ye painted forms of joy, And leave my heart to mourn: I would devote these eyes to tears, Till chear'd by his return. 6 Look back, my Lord, and own the place, Where once thy temple stood; For lo, its ruins bear the mark Of rich atoning blood.
