Ah, how shall fallen man

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God! If He contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise. 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with Thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake! The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake! 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him, and escape; But through the Savior's blood. Scripture: Job 9:2-6

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Appears in 3,216 hymnals Topics: Natural Depravity Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing! 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise, to all eternity. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Lord, we are vile, conceived in sin

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity Lyrics: 1 LORD, we are vile, conceived in sin, And born unholy and unclean; Sprung 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 No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast, No hyssop branch, nor sprinkling 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 Jewish types could cleanse us so. 6 While guilt disturbs and breaks our peace, Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease; Lord, let us hear thy pard'ning voice, And make these broken hearts rejoice. Scripture: Job 14:4

All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall

Author: Lazarus Spengler; Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Humanity Depravity of Lyrics: 1 All mankind fell in Adam's fall, one common sin infects them all; from sire to son the bane descends, and over all its curse impends. 2 Through all man's pow'rs corruption creeps and him in dreadful bondage keeps; in guilt he draws his infant breath and reaps its fruits of woe and death. 3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone, flow thoughts and deeds of sin alone; God's image lost, the darkened soul nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal. 4 But Christ, the second Adam, came to bear our sin and woe and shame, to be our Life, our Light, our Way, our only Hope, our only Stay. 5 As by one man all mankind fell and, born in sin, was doomed to hell, so by one Man, who took our place, we all received the gift of grace. 6 We thank thee, Christ; new life is ours, new light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs: may grace our ev'ry way attend until we reach our journey's end! Scripture: Genesis 3:1-19 Used With Tune: SAXONY

Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace.
