Lord, what was man when made at first

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #92 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Lord, what was man when made at first, Adam the offspring of the dust, That thou should'st set him and his race But just below an angel's place? 2 That thou should'st raise his nature so, And make him lord of all below; Make every beast and bird submit, And lay the fishes at his feet? 3 But, O, what brighter glories wait To crown the second Adam's state! What honours shall thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born! 4 See him below his angels made, See him in dust amongst the dead, To save a ruin'd world from sin; But he shall reign with power divine. 5 The world to come, redeem'd from all The miseries that attend the fall, New-made, and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Saviour's feet.

Ah, how shall fallen man

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #63 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God! If He contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise. 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with Thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake! The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake! 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him, and escape; But through the Savior's blood. Scripture: Job 9:2-6 Languages: English

Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #98 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies From luxury and lust arise! 2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste, Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. 3 The glutton groans and loathes to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat: Nature, with heavy loads opprest, Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighted sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. 5 O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful offerings prove How they adore their Maker's love.

Though I should seek to wash me clean

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #64 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Though I should seek to wash me clean In waters of the driven snow, My soul would yet in spots retain, And sink in conscious guilt and wo: 2 The spirit, in his power divine, Would cast my vaunting soul to earth, Expose the foulness of its sin, And show the vileness of its worth. 3 Ah, not like erring man is God, That men to answer him should dare. Condemn'd, and into silence awed, They helpless stand before his bar. 4 There, must a Mediator plead, Who, God and man, may both embrace; With God, for man to intercede, And offer man the purchased grace. 5 And lo! the Son of God is slain To be this Mediator crown'd: In Him, my soul, be cleansed from stain, In Him thy righteousness be found. Scripture: Job 9:30-33 Languages: English

Original Sin: or the first and second Adam

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #55 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man First Line: Backward with humble shame we look 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 How strong in our degenerate blood, The old corruption reigns, And, mingling with the crooked flood, Wanders through all our veins! 4 Wild and unwholesome as the root Will all the branches be; How can we hope for living fruit From such a deadly tree? 5 What mortal power from things unclean, Can pure productions bring? Who can command a vital stream From an infected spring? 6 Yet, mighty God, thy wondrous love Can make our nature clean, While Christ and grace prevail above The tempter, death, and sin. 7 The second Adam shall restore The ruins of the first, Hosanna to that sovereign power That new-creates our dust!

Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #94 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I, To mourn, and murmur, and repine To see the wicked plac'd on high, In pride and robes of honour shine! 2 But oh their end, their dreadful end! Thy sanctuary taught me so; On slippery rocks I see them stand, And fiery billows roll below. 3 Now let them boast how tall they rise, I'll never envy them again: There they may stand with haughty eyes, Till they plunge deep in endless pain. 4 Their fancied joys, how fast they flee! Just like a dream when man awakes; Their songs of softest harmony Are but a preface to their plagues. 5 Now I esteem their mirth and wine Too dear to purchase with my blood; Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine, My life, my portion, and my God.
