Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Nature of Man, corrupt Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practise on the mind; With flatt'ring looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The aged and the young; And while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joys she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

How sad our State by Nature is!

Appears in 291 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature Lyrics: 1 How sad our State by Nature is! Our Sin how deep it stains! And Satan binds our captive Minds Fast in his slavish Chains. 2 But there's a Voice of Sov'reign Grace Sounds from the sacred Word; Ho! ye despairing Sinners, come, And trust upon the Lord. 3 My Soul obeys th' Almighty Call, And runs to this Relief; I would believe thy Promise, Lord; O! help my Unbelief. [4 To the dear fountain of thy Blood, Incarnate God! I fly; Here let me wash my spotted Soul From Crimes of deepest dye. 5 Stretch out thine Arm, victorious King My reigning Sins subdue; Drive the old Dragon from his Seat, With all his hellish Crew.] 6 A guilty, weak, and helpless Worm, On thy kind Arms I fall; Be thou my Strength and Righteousness, My Jesus, and my All.

The Good that I would I do not

Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: I would but cannot sing Lyrics: 1 I would, but cannot sing, Guilt has untun'd my Voice, The Serpent sin's envenom'd Sting Has poison'd all my Joys. 2 I know the Lord is nigh, And would, but cannot pray; For Satan meets me when I try, And frights my Soul away. 3 I would, but can't Repent, Tho' I endeavor oft; This stony Heart can ne'er relent 'Till Jesus makes it soft. 4 I would, but cannot Love, Tho' woo'd by Love Divine; No Arguments have pow'r to move A Soul so base as mine. 5 I would, but cannot rest In God's most holy Will; I know what he appoints is best, Yet Murmur at it still. 6 Oh could I but believe! Then all would easy be; I would, but cannot; Lord relieve; My Help must come from thee! 7 But if indeed I wou'd, Tho' I can nothing do; Yet the Desire is something good, For which my Praise is due. 8 By Nature prone to Ill, Till thine appointed Hour, I was as destitute of Will, As now I am of Pow'r. 9 Wilt thou not Crown, at length, The Work thou hast begun? And with a Will afford me Strength, In all thy Ways to run.

A living and a dead Faith, collected from several Scriptures

Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n Lyrics: 1 Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n, And make their empty boast, Of inward Joys, and Sins forgiv'n, While they are Slaves to Lust. 2 Vain are our Fancies, airy Flights, If Faith be cold and dead; None but a living Pow'r unites To Christ the living Head. 3 'Tis Faith that changes all the Heart; 'Tis faith that Works by Love; That bids all sinful Joys depart, And lifts the Thoughts above. 4 'Tis Faith that conquers Earth and Hell By a celestial Pow'r; This is the Grace that shall prevail In the decisive Hour. [5 Faith must obey her Father's Will, As well as trust his Grace, A pard'ning God is jealous still For his own Holiness. 6 When from the Curse he sets us free, He makes our Natures clean, Nor would he send his Son to be The Minister of Sin. 7 His Spirit purifies our Frame, And Seals our Peace with God; Jesus and his Salvation came By Water and by Blood.]
