Lord, what was man when made at first

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals 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

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 157 hymnals 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

Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 127 hymnals 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.

Dead be my heart to all below

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Dead be my heart to all below, To mortal joys and mortal cares; To sensual bliss that charms us so, Be dark, mine eyes, and deaf my ears. 2 Lord, I renounce my carnal taste Of the fair fruit that sinners prize; Their paradise shall never waste One thought of mine, but to despise. 3 All earthly joy are overweigh'd With mountains of vexatious care; And where's the sweet that is not laid A bait to some destructive snare? 4 Begone, for ever, mortal things! Thou mighty mole-hill, earth, farewell Angels aspire of lofty wings, And leave the globe for ants to dwell. 5 Come, heaven, and fill my vast desires, My soul pursues the sovereign good; She was all made of heavenly fires, Nor can she live on meaner food.
