Sin, like a venmous disease

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 Sin, like a venomous disease, Infects our vital blood; The only balm is sovereign grace, And the physician, God. 2 Our beauty and our strength are fled, And we draw near to death; But Christ, the Lord, recalls the dead, With His almighty breath. 3 Madness by nature reigns within, The passions burn and rage, Till God's own Son, with skill divine, The inward fire assuage. 4 We lick the dust, we grasp the wind, And solid good despise; Such is the folly of the mind, Till Jesus makes us wise. 5 We give our souls the wounds they feel, We drink the poisonous gall, And rush with fury down to hell; But heaven prevents the fall.

The Lord looked down from heaven's high tower

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 the Lord looked down from heaven's high tower, And all the sons of men did view, To see if any owned His power, If any truth or justice knew; 2 But all, He saw, were gone aside, All were degenerate grown, and base; None took religion for their guide, Not one of all the sinful race. 3 How will they tremble, then, for fear, When His just wrath shall them o'ertake: For to the righteous God is near, And never will their cause forsake. 4 Oh that from Sion he'd employ His might, and burst th' oppressive band! Then shouts of universal joy Should loudly echo through the land. Scripture: Psalm 14

The Voice of Free Grace

He hat purchased our pardon Lyrics: 1 The voice of free grace cries-- "Escape to the mountain!" For Adam’s lost race Christ hath opened a fountain; For sin and uncleanness, and every transgression, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. Chorus: Hallelujah to the Lamb! He hath purchased our pardon, We'll praise Him again when we pass over Jordan. 2 Ye souls that are wounded! oh flee to the Saviour! He calls you in mercy--'tis infinite favor; Your sins are increasing--escape to the mountain,-- His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain. 3 O Jesus! ride onward, triumphantly glorious, O’er sin, death, and hell, Thou art more than victorious: Thy name is the theme of the great congregation, While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation. 4 With joy shall we stand, when escaped to the shore; With harps in our hands, we'll praise Him the more; We’ll range the sweet plains on the bank of the river, And sing of redemption for ever and ever!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 231 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within Oft whispered to thy secret soul, Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God’s control? 2 Hath something met thee in the path Of worldliness and vanity, And pointed to the coming wrath, And warned thee from that wrath to flee? 3 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice,— It was the Spirit’s gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 4 Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard in time the warning kind; That call thou may'st not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find. 5 God’s Spirit will not always strive With hardened, self-destroying man; Ye, who persist His love to grieve, May never hear His voice again. 6 Sinner, perhaps this very day, Thy last accepted time may be; Oh shouldst thou grieve Him now away, Then hope may never beam on thee.

Hear, all ye sons of men; For Christ, the Saviour, hath declared, "Ye must be born again." 2 Whate'er might be your birth or blood, The sinner's boast is vain; Thus saith the glorious Son of God, "Ye must be born again." 3 Your nature's totally depraved-- Your heart a sink of sin; Without a change ye can't be saved; "Ye must be born again." 4 Spirit of life, Thy grace impart, And breathe on sinners slain; Work graciously upon each heart Till they be born again. 5 Dear Saviour, let us now begin To trust and love Thy word; And, by forsaking every sin, Prove we are born of God.

Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Sinner, is thy heart at rest? Is thy bosom void of fear? Art thou not by guilt oppressed?

Flattering, false, and vain it is:-- Tremble at the worldling's doom. 3 Think, oh sinner, on thy end; See the judgment-day appear! Thither must thy spirit wend; There thy righteous sentence hear. 4 Wretched, ruined, helpless soul, To a Saviour's blood apply; He alone can make thee whole; Fly to Jesus,--sinner, fly!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Who shall against the Lord prevail? Or who presume to say, "That righteous law, which God proclaims, I dare to disobey?" 2 Ten thousand actions everywhere Th' impious language speak: Yet power omnipotent stands by, Nor do its thunders break. 3 But oh, the dreadful day draws near, When God's avenging hand Shall show, if feeble mortals' breath, Or God's own word, shall stand. 4 My soul, with rev'rence prostrate fall, Before the Voice divine; And all thine interest and thy powers To His command resign. 5 Let the vain of sons of Belial boast, Their tongues and thoughts are free; My noblest liberty I own, When subject most to Thee.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent Lyrics: 1 Here at Thy cross, my dying Lord, I lay my soul beneath Thy love, Beneath the droppings of Thy blood, Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove. 2 Should worlds conspire to drive me thence, Moveless and firm this heart should lie; Resolved--for that's my last defence-- If I must perish, there to die. 3 But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear; Am I not safe beneath Thy shade? Thy vengeance will not strike me here, Nor Satan dares my soul invade. 4 Yes, I'm secure beneath Thy blood, And all my foes shall lose their aim; Hosannah to my dying Lord, And my best honors to His name.

Appears in 551 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Hasten, sinner, to be wise, Stay not for the morrow's sun; The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2 Hasten, mercy to implor, And stay not for the morrow's sun, For fear thy season should be o'er Before this evening's course be run. 3 Hasten, sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow's sun, Lest thy lamp should fail to burn E'er the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow's sun, Lest the curse should thee arrest E'er the morrow is begun.

Come, trembling sinner! in whose breast

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 726 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Come, trembling sinner! in whose breast, A thousand thoughts revolve-- Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve,-- 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sin, Like a mountains, round me rose; I know His courts, I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before His throne, And there my guilt confess, I'll tell Him I'm a wretch undone Without His sovereign grace. 4 Perhaps He will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there. 5 I can but perish if I go; I am resolved to try: For if I stay away, I know I must for ever die.
