How Sweet Was the Garden, Fertile and Fair

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Fall and the Human Condition Lyrics: 1 How sweet was the garden, fertile and fair, the first and best home God gave to our care, a paradise lavished on creatures of clay; yet we were not willing to follow God’s way. 2 We freely could eat from all but one tree (forbidden, perhaps, lest gods we might be?), but tasting we grew not divine after all: the fruit in our mouth turned from nectar to gall. 3 From dark, bitter fruit came forth a bright seed, for God did not turn from us in our need; the love that first formed us embraces us still and woos us from wandering to follow God’s will. Scripture: Genesis 2:8-25, 3:1 Used With Tune: LONG ISLAND SOUND

Peter's Fall and Recovery

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Christian Falling and recovered; Peter's fall and recovery First Line: How did the powers of darkness rage Lyrics: 1 How did the powers of darkness rage Against the son of God! While cruel men on earth engage To shed his precious blood. 2 His friends forsook him with surprise, When that dread scene began; And one perfidiously denies He ever knew the man. 3 How feeble human efforts prove Against temptation's power! E'en Peter's flaming zeal and love Are vanquish'd in an hour. 4 His firmest purpose will not stand Behold his guilt and shame! Lord, keep me by thy mighty hand, Or I shall do the same. 5 At length the suffering Savior turns, And looks with pitying eyes; Peter relents, withdraws and mourns, And loud for mercy cries. 6 So boundless is Jehovah's grace, He hears the humble prayer; If I am found in Peter's case, I would not still dispair. 7 Look on me, Lord, with eyes of love, My wandering soul restore; My guilt forgive, my fears remove, And let me sin no more. Scripture: Luke 22:54-62

Jehovah's image brightly shone

Author: W. Garner Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Creation and Fall of Man Lyrics: 1 Jehovah's image brightly shone In Eden's lovely pair, And oft before his gracious throne, They bowed in praise and prayer. 2 With rectitude, as with a robe, Their spotless souls were dressed, With peace abounding, and with joy, They were divinely blessed. 3 No self-reproach, no slavish dread Disturbed their peace within; No frowning storm their path o'erspread, While undefiled with sin. 4 Thus souls renewed by saving grace-- Whose sins have been forgiven, Behold the smiles of Jesus' face, And feel an inward heaven.

Backsliding and returning; or, the backslider's Prayer

Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Peter's fall and recovery First Line: Jesus let thy pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Jesus let thy pitying eye Call back a wand'ring sheep; False to my vows, like Peter, I Would fain like Peter weep. Let me be by grace restor'd, On me be all its freeness shewn; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 2 Savior, prince, enthron'd above, Repentance to impart, Give me, thro' thy dying love, The humble, contrite heart; Give, what I have long implor'd, A portion of thy grief unknown; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 3 See me, Savior, from above, Nor suffer me to die; Life and happiness, and love, Smile in thy gracious eye; Speak the reconciling word, And let thy mercy melt me down; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 4 Look, as when thy pitying eye Was clos'd that we might live; "Father (at the point to die, My Savior gasp'd) forgive!" Surely with thy dying word, He turns, and looks, and cries, "'Tis done!" O! my loving, bleeding Lord, This breaks my heart of stone.

Thou Maker of our mortal frame

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Creation and Fall of Man Lyrics: 1 Thou Maker of our mortal frame-- Of all thy works the noblest far, We bow before thy righteous claim To all we have, and all we are. 2 Our tongues were fashioned for thy word, Our hands to do thy will divine; Our bodies are thy temple, Lord, The mind's immortal powers are thine. 3 Its highest thought--to trace thy skill, Its purest love, on thee to rest, Its noblest action of the will, To choose thy service, and be blest. 4 Our ransomed spirits rise to thee-- Unfailing source of light and joy! Thy love has made thy children free, Thy praise shall life and strength employ. 5 Give grace and mercy to the end-- For we are thine and not our own: So shall we to thy courts ascend, And cast our crowns before thy throne.
