Backward with humble Shame we look

Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Original Sin Lyrics: 1 Backward with humble Shame we look On our Original, How is our Nature dash'd and broke In our first Father's Fall! 2 To all that's Good, averse and blind, But prone to all that's Ill; What dreadful Darkness veils our Mind, How obstinate our Will! [3 Conceiv'd in Sin (O wretched State!) Before we draw our Breath; The first young Pulse begins to beat Iniquity and Death. 4 How strong in our degen'rate Blood, The old Corruption reigns, And, mingling with the crooked Flood, Wanders through all our Veins!] [5 Wild and unwholesome as the Root, Will all the Branches be; How can we hope for living Fruit From such a deadly Tree? 6 What mortal Pow'r from Things unclean Can pure Productions bring? Who can command a vital Stream From an infected Spring?] 7 Yet, mighty God, thy wond'rous Love Can make our Nature clean, While Christ and Grace prevail above The Tempter, Death, and Sin. 8 The second Adam shall restore The Ruins of the first; Hosanna to that Sov'reign Pow'r That new-creates our Dust, Scripture: Romans 5:12-14

The Backslider restored; or, Repentance and Faith in the Blood of Christ

Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Pardon of original and actual sin; Sin original and actual, confessed and pardoned; Pardon of original and actual sin; Sin original and actual, confessed and pardoned First Line: O thou that hear'st when sinners cry Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their memory from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin: Let thy good spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banish'd from thy sight: Thine holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have griev'd thy spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford, And let a wretch come near thy throne, To plead the merits of thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 6 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemn'd to die. 7 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God. 8 O may thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord my strength and righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51

A Penitent pleading for Pardon

Appears in 801 hymnals Topics: Pardon of original and actual sin; Sin original and actual, confessed and pardoned First Line: Shew Pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics: 1 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting Rebel live; Are not thy Mercies large and free; May not a Sinner trust in Thee? 2 My Crimes are great, but not surpass The Pow'r and Glory of thy Grace; Great GOD, thy Nature hath no Bound, So let thy pard'ning Love be found. 3 O wash my Soul from ev'ry Sin, And make my guilty Conscience clean; Here on my Heart the Burden lies, And past Offences pain mine Eyes. 4 My Lips with Shame my Sins confess Against thy Law, against thy Grace; Lord, should thy Judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden Vengeance seize my Breath, I must pronounce Thee just in Death; And if my Soul were sent to Hell, Thy righteous Law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling Sinner, Lord, Whose Hope still hov'ring round thy Word, Would light on some sweet Promise there, Some sure Support against Despair. Scripture: Psalm 51

Den yndigste Rose er funden

Author: Brorson Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Original Sin Lyrics: 1 Den yndigste Rose er funden Blandt stiveste Torner oprunden, Vor Jesus, den deiligste Pode, Blandt syndige Mennesker grode. 2 Alt siden vi tabte den Ære, Guds Billedes Frugter at bære, Var Verden forvildet og øde, Vi alle i Synden bortdøde. 3 Som Tidsler ei mere kan due End kastes i brændende Lue, Saa tjente ei Verden til andet, End vorde til Ilden forbandet. 4 Da lod gud en Rose opskyde, Og Sæden omsider frembryde, At rense og ganske forsøde Vor Vekstes fordærvede Grøde. 5 Saa blomstrer Guds Kirke med Ære, Og yndige Frugter kan bære, Thi Jesus dens Grøde opliver, Og Vædske i Veksterne giver. 6 Al Verden nu burde sig fryde, Med Salmer mangfoldig udbryde, Men Mangen har aldrig fornummet, At Rosen i Verden er kommet. 7 Forhærdede Sjæle, som blive Som torner og Tidsler saa stive, Hvi holde I eder saa ranke I Stoltheds frodærvede Tanke? 8 Ak, søger de nederste Steder, I Støvet for Frelseren græder! Saa faa I vor Jesus i Tale, Thi Roserne vokse i Dale. 9 Nu, Jesus, du stedse skal være Mit Smykke, min Rose og Ære, Du ganske mig Hjerte indtager, Din Sødhed jeg finder og smager. 10 Min Rose mig smykker og pryder, Min Rose mig glæder og fryder, De giftige Lyster den døder, Og Korset saa liflig forføder. 11 Lad Verden mig al Ting fratage, Lad Tornene rive og nage, Lad Hjertet kun daane og briste, Min Rose jeg aldrig vil miste.

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.

O Jesus, se

Author: Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Original Sin Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, se Min Skam o Ve! Guds Villede er borte, Sjælen er spedalsk som Sne, Store Synder gjorte! 2 Hvor himmelklar Og yndig var Guds Skabning før at skue! Ligner nu det sure Kar, Og den vilde Drue. 3 I Dødens Nat Blev Sjælen sat, Og var dog vel til Mode, Skjønt den havde tvert forladt Gud, sit største Gode. 4 Da sank den ned I Daarlighed, Og Syndens Herredømme, Alt, hvad den om Himlen veed, Er kun dunkle Drømme. 5 De Mørkets Baand Fik Overhaand I alle Sjælens Kræfter, At den hin urene Aand Følger gjerne efter. 6 O Jesus, som Til Verden kom For os at vorde givet Til en Skat og Helligdom Og en Vei til Livet,– 7 Miskunde dig Dog over mig, Og lad dit Lys oprinde, At mit Hjerte skynder sig Gud igjen at finde! 8 Lad Straaler paa Mit Hjerte slaa Af Naadens Morgenrøde, At min arme Sjæl kan staa Op igjen af Døde! 9 O Syndres Ven, Som gav dig hen I Døden tornekronet, Hjælp, jeg blir paany igjen Med min Gud fosonet!

Buried in shadows of the night

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Original Sin; Sin Original Lyrics: 1 Buried in shadows of the night, We lie till Christ restores the light; Wisdom descends to heal the blind, And chase the darkness of the mind. 2 Our very frame is mix'd with sin; His Spirit makes our natures clean; Such virtues from His suff'rings flow, At once to cleanse and pardon too. 3 Jesus beholds where Satan reigns, Binding his slaves in heavy chains; He sets the prisoners free, and breaks The iron bondage from our necks. 4 Poor, helpless worms in Thee possess Grace, wisdom, power and righteousness; Thou art our mighty all, and we Give our whole selves, O Lord, to Thee.

Wickedness and Retribution

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Sin Original First Line: Do ye, O men, speak righteousness Lyrics: 1 Do ye, O men, speak righteousness And upright judgment mete? Nay, in your hearts is wickedness, And in you hands deceit. 2 The wicked, from their earliest days, in sin are gone astray, With froward heart, in foolish pride, From wisdom turned away. 3 The God of vengeance will destroy The wicked from His sight; The Lord will bring to nought their pow'r, And scatter all their might. 4 The good shall triumph and rejoice, And this shall be confessed; On earth the God of justice reigns, And righteousness is blessed.
