The Load of Sin
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #261 (1888) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: How helpless guilty nature lies 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 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord! be thine. Topics: Access to God; Atonement Necessary; Darkness Spiritual Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19 Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA
