When Adam sinned, through all his race
Author: Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Contagion of Sin Lyrics: 1 When Adam sinned, through all his race
The dire contagion spread;
Sickness and death, and deep disgrace
Sprang from our fallen head.
2 From God and happiness we fly,
To earth and sense confined;
Lost in a maze of misery,
Yet to our misery blind.
3 Corruption flows through all our veins,
Our moral beauty's gone;
The gold is fled, the dross remains;
O sin! what hast thou done!
4 Jesus! reveal thy pardoning grace,
And draw our souls to thee;
Thou art the only hiding-place
Where ruined souls can flee.

Complaint of sins
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Sin Complained of First Line: O Lord, how vile am I Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how vile am I,
Unholy and unclean!
How can I dare to venture nigh
With such a load of sin?
2 Is this polluted heart
A dwelling fit for thee?
Swarming, alas! in ev'ry part,
What evils do i see!
3 If I attempt to pray,
And raise my soul on high,
My thoughts are hurry'd fast away,
For sin is ever nigh.
4 If in thy word I look,
Such darkness fills my mind,
I only read a sealed book,
But no relief can find.
5 Thy gospel oft I hear,
But hear it still in vain;
Without desire,or love, or hear,
Harden'd I still remain.
6 And must I then indeed
Sink in despair and die?
Fain would I hope that thou didst bleed
For such a wretch as I.
7 That blood which thou hast spilt,
That grace which is thine own;
Can cleanse the vilest sinner's guilt,
And soften hearts of stone.
8 Low at thy feet I bow,
O pity and forgive!
Here will I lie and wait till thou
Shalt bid me rise and live.

Works of Creation and Providence
Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon; Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: Rejoice, ye righteous in the Lord Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, ye righteous in the Lord,
This work belongs to you:
Sing of his name, his ways, his word,
How holy, just, and true!
2 His mercy and his righteousness
Let heaven and earth proclaim;
His works of nature and of grace
Reveal his wondrous name.
3 His word, with energy divine,
Those heavenly arches spread,
Bid starry hosts around them shine,
And light the heavens pervade.
4 He taught the swelling waves to flow
To their appointed deep;
Bade raging seas their limits know,
And still their station keep.
5 Ye tenants of the spacious earth,
With fear before him stand;
He spake, and nature took its birth,
And rests on his command.
6 He scorns the angry nations' rage,
And breaks their vain designs?
His counsel stands through every age,
And in full glory shines. Scripture: Psalm 33

God, Be Merciful to Me
Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me,
on thy grace I rest my plea;
plenteous in compassion thou,
blot out my transgressions now;
wash me, make me pure within,
cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
2 My transgressions I confess,
grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against thy grace
and provoked thee to thy face;
I confess thy judgment just,
speechless, I thy mercy trust.
3 I am evil, born in sin;
thou desirest truth within.
thou alone my Savior 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.
5 Gracious God, my heart renew,
make my spirit right and true;
cast me not away from thee,
let thy Spirit dwell in me;
thy salvation's joy impart,
steadfast make my willing heart.
6 Sinners then shall learn from me
and return, O God, to thee;
Savior, all my guilt remove,
and my tongue shall sing thy love;
touch my silent lips, O Lord,
and my mouth shall praise accord.

Nearer, Still Nearer
Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 242 hymnals Topics: Confession of Sin First Line: Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest,”
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest.”
2 Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an off'ring to Jesus, my King;
Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine,
Sin with its follies I gladly resign;
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified.
4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Thro' endless ages, ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee!
Amen.

Vor Sjæl er dertil fødd og baaren
Author: Krist. Richter; Brorson Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Original Sin Lyrics: 1 Vor Sjæl er dertil fødd og baaren,
I Gud at vorde skjøn og rig,
Just dertil af ham selv udkaaren,
At vorde ham, sin Skaber, lig;
Hvo kan den Ære noksom prise,
Som Gud har villet os bevise!
2 Her var et Adelskab at finde,
Som Englens, der Guds Aasyn saa,
Ei mindste Lyde var derinde
I Sjælens tilstand og Attraa;
Her kunde nogen Meen ei være,
Thi Gud var Sjælens Lys og Ære.
3 Den drak, af samme Kildes Floder,
Hvoraf den selv var kommen frem,
Og Visdom var dens Selskabsbroder,
Og Pardiset var dens Hjem;
Den havde mer end Rigdom fundet,
Thi den var ret med Gud forbundet.
4 Hvo kan den Liflighed beskrive,
Som Sjælen i sin Gud fornam?
O, at den lod sig fra ham rive,
Sig til ubørlig Last og Skam,
Thi Fienden nu dens Høitidsdage
Har vendt til Skjæmsel, Ve og Plage.
5 Nu er den ganske jordisk bleven,
Og intet mere ret forstaar,
Veed ei, hvorhen den er fordreben,
Og vild i denne Verden gaar;
Den kan sig ei til Gud opsvinge,
Men elsker det, som er saa ringe.
6 O Gud, som har en Frelser givet,
At bedre den fortviled' Stand,
Væk Sjælen og igjen til Livet,
Som du og ingen anden kan,
At den igjen kan Visdom finde,
Og ikke mere gaa i Blinde!
7 De Sukke, jeg saa dybt maa drage,
Ak, lad dem dig til Hjertet gaa!
Din søde Kjærlighed at smage
Er al den Del, jeg stunder paa;
Thi kan jeg elske dig af Hjerte,
Da kan mig intet mere smerte.
8 O, store Gud, hvor skal jeg finde
Den Lue, Hjertet ønsker sig?
O, lad dig, lad dig overvinde,
Og drag mig selv igjen til dig!
Thi bliver du med mig forbunden,
Jeg da min Sjæl igjen har funden.
Vor Sjæl er dertil fødd og baaren
Repentance and Free Pardon; or, Justification and Sanctification
Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon; Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: Blest is the man, forever blest Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, forever blest,
Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God,
Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd,
And cover'd with his Saviour's blood.
2 Before his judgment seat the Lord
No more permits his crimes to rise;
He pleads no merit of reward,
And not on works but grace relies.
3 From guile his heart and lips are free,
His humble joy, his holy fear,
With deep repentance well agree,
And join to prove his faith sincere.
4 How glorious is that righteousness
That hides and cancels all his sins!
While a bright evidence of grace
Through all his life appears and shines. Scripture: Psalm 32
