The Load of Sin

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #261 (1888) Scripture: John 3:3 First Line: How helpless guilty nature lies Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart, unchanged, can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue? 'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine, To form the heart anew. 3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them 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 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine; Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord! be thine.

O ye who would enter that glorious rest, And sing with the ransomed the song of the blest, The life everlasting if you would obtain, You must be born again.
