Text: | The Soul ruined |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | HUMMEL |
Composer: | C. Zeuner |
1 How sad our state by nature is!
Our sin--how deep it stains!
And Satan holds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains.
2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace,
Sounds from the sacred word;
"Ho! ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust a pardoning, Lord."
3 My soul obeys the almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise, Lord:
Oh, help my unbelief!
4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall;
Be thou my Strength and Righteousness,
My Saviour and my All.
