When, marshaled on the nightly plain

Author: Henry Kirke White Appears in 482 hymnals 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.

Lord, we are vile, and full of sin

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 217 hymnals 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.
