By nature all men are sinners

Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Children instructed; Children instructed First Line: Fools in their hearts believe and say Lyrics: 1 Fools in their hearts believe and say, "That all religion’s vain, "There is no God that reigns on high, "Or minds th’ affairs of men." 2 From thoughts so dreadful and profane Corrupt discourse proceeds; And in their impious hands are found Abominable deeds. 3 The Lord, from his celestial throne Look'd down on things below, To find the man that sought his grace, Or did his justice know. 4 By nature all are gone astray, Their practice all the same; There’s none that fears his Maker’s hand, There’s none that loves his name. 5 Their tongues are us'd to speak deceit, Their slanders never cease; How swift to mischief are their feet; Nor know the paths of peace. 6 Such seeds of sin (that bitter root) In every heart are found; Nor can they bear diviner fruit, 'Till grace refine the ground. Scripture: Psalm 14

Imperfection of Nature, and Perfection of Scripture

Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: Instruction from Scripture; Instruction from Scripture First Line: Let all the heathen writers join Lyrics: 1 Let all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book, Great God, if once compar'd with thine, How mean their writings look. 2 Not the most perfect rules they gave Could shew one sin forgiven; Nor lead a step beyond the grave, But thine conduct to heaven. 3 I've seen an end to what we call Perfection here below; How short the powers of nature fall, And can no further go. 4 Yet men would fain be just with God, By works their hands have wrought; But thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought. 5 In vain we boast perfection here, While sin defiles our frame; And sinks our virtues down so far, They scarce deserve the name. 6 Our faith, and love, and every grace Fall far below thy word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 119:96

My heart may faint with fears, but God my strength appears, and will to endless years my portion be. 4 O it is good that I may still to God draw nigh, as oft before; the Lord Jehovah blest, my refuge and my rest, shall be in praise confessed for evermore.
