How helpless fallen nature lies

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:10 Lyrics: 1 How helpless fallen nature lies, Unconscious of her load! The heart unchanged can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught beneath a power divine A stubborn will subdue? 'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine To form the heart anew. 3 'Tis thine the passions to recall, And bid them upward rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason's darkened eyes;-- 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live: A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give. 5 Renew these wretched hearts of ours; Oh, give us life divine! Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be thine. Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity; Need of Spiritual Renovation

Faith is the brightest evidence

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 121 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: Faith is the brightest evidence Of things beyond our sight, Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense, And dwells in heav'nly light.

By faith we know the worlds were made By God's almighty word; Abram, to unknown countries led, By faith obeyed the Lord.

Once I thought my mountain strong

Author: Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 116 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: 1 Once I thought my mountain strong, Firmly fixed no more to move; Then my Saviour was my song, Then my soul was filled with love: Those were happy, golden days, Sweetly spent in prayer and praise. 2 Little then myself I knew, Little thought of Satan's power; Now I feel my sins renew, Now I feel the stormy hour: Sin has put my joys to flight, Sin has turned my day to night. 3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul, Bid my dying hopes revive, Make my wounded spirit whole, Far away the tempter drive: Speak the word and set me free, Let me live alone to thee.
