God Marked a Line and Told the Sea
How Sweet Was the Garden, Fertile and Fair
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #29 (2013) Meter: 10.10.11.11 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.

What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #34 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fall and the Human Condition Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day.
2 An ark of mercy rode the flood,
but we, where waters swirled,
rebuilt, impatient of the good,
another fallen world: an unrepentant world.
3 A little child is Adam’s heir,
is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.
4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness:
the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!
5 Renewed, restored we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Scripture: Genesis 3:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: DETROIT

Behold what love the Father hath
Father, whose everlasting Love
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #50 (1917) Topics: Man Fall of; Man Fall of Lyrics: 1. Father, whose everlasting Love
Thy only Son for sinners gave,
Whose grace to all did freely move,
And sent Him down the world to save:
2. Help us Thy mercy to extol,
Immense, unfathomed, unconfined;
To praise the Lamb who died for all,
The general Saviour of mankind.
3. Thy undistinguishing regard
Was cast on Adam's fallen race,
For all Thou hast in Christ prepared
Sufficient, sovereign, saving grace.
4. The world He suffered to redeem;
For all He hath atonement made;
For those that will not come to Him,
The ransom of His life was paid.
5. Arise, O God! maintain Thy cause;
The fulness of the Gentiles call;
Lift up the standard of Thy cross,
And all shall own Thou diest for all. Languages: English Tune Title: ARIZONA
Father, whose everlasting Love
Backward with humble shame we look
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #90 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Backward with humble shame we look,
On our original;
How is our nature dash'd and broke
In our first father's fall!
2 To all that's good averse and blind,
But prone to all that's ill;
What dreadful darkness veils our mind!
How obstinate our will!
3 How strong in our degenerate blood,
The old corruption reigns,
And, mingling with the crooked flood,
Wanders through all our veins!
4 Wild and unwholesome as the root
Will all the branches be;
How can we hope for living fruit
From such a deadly tree?
5 What mortal power from things unclean
Can pure productions bring?
Who can command a vital stream
From an infected spring?
6 Yet, mighty God, thy wondrous love
Can make our nature clean,
While Christ and grace prevail above
The tempter, death, and sin.
7 The second Adam shall restore
The ruins of the first,
Hosanna to that sovereign power
That new-creates our dust. Scripture: Job 14:4
Backward with humble shame we look
Sin has a thousand treacherous arts
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #91 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts
To practise on the mind;
With flattering 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.
Sin has a thousand treacherous arts
