All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall

Author: Lazarus Spengler, 1479-1534; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 6:5 Lyrics: 1 All mankind fell in Adam's fall; one common sin infects us all. From one to all the curse descends, and over all God's wrath impends. 2 Through all our pow'rs corruption creeps and us in dreadful bondage keeps; in guilt we draw our infant breath and reap 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 were justified by grace. 6 We thank you, Christ; new life is ours, new light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs. This grace our ev'ry way attend until we reach our journey's end. Topics: Justification Used With Tune: WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTEN SEIN Text Sources: Tr. st. 5: The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941

For Your Wise, Creating Spirit

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: For your wise, creating Spirit, Scripture: Genesis 6:5-7 Lyrics: 1 For your wise, creating Spirit, blessing us in countless ways, and your Living Word of mercy, God, we offer you our praise. From the waters of creation, you brought forth a fertile land, peopled it with men and women meant to live by your command. 2 When in Noah’s time, we faltered, you, with mercy and with love, flooded us with tears of sorrow, sent a rainbow and a dove. And when we were slaves in Egypt, each one longing to be free, you led Moses on a pathway through the waters of the sea. 3 When we wandered in the desert, you showed us a flowing spring, quenched our thirst and fed us manna, though we doubted everything. When, at last, we saw the Jordan. and beyond, the Promised Land, Joshua helped us cross the river, guided by your faithful hand. 4 When our people walked in darkness, you sent Light into our gloom: Jesus, nurtured in the waters of his mother Mary’s womb. He was baptized in the Jordan, he turned water into wine, washed the feet of his disciples, all his deeds a holy sign. 5 At the font now, God, we gather as the friends of Jesus do, to baptize your child beloved, into life begun anew. By your Spirit bless this water, bless this child that we now name, bless the people who are present. May we all your love proclaim. " Topics: Baptism Prayer Used With Tune: FIRST CHURCH
