Backward With Humble Shame We Look

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9317 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Backward with humble shame we look On our original; How is our nature dashed 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 Conceived 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 degenerate 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 power from things unclean Can pure productions bring? Who can command a vital stream From an infected spring? 7 Yet, mighty God! Thy wondrous 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; Hosannah to that sovereign power That new-creates our dust!
