Human Weakness owned

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: On the Fall of Man, or Depravity of Human Nature First Line: My Lord, how great's the Favour!

Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Oh, For a Glance of heav'nly Day Lyrics: 1 Oh, For a Glance of heav'nly Day, To take this stubborn Stone away; And thaw with Beams of Love Divine This Heart, this frozen Heart of mine! 2 The Rocks can rent; the Earth can quake; The Seas can roar; the Mountains shake; Of Feeling all Things shew some Sign: But this unfeeling Heart of mine. 3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt, Dear Lord, an Adamant would melt; but I can read each moving Line, And nothing move this Heart of mine. 4 Thy Judgments too unmov'd I hear, (Amazing Thought!) which Devils fear, Goodness and Wrath in vain combine, To stir this stupid Heart of mine. 5 But something yet can do the Deed; And that dear Something much I need. Thy Spirit can from Dross refine; And move and melt this Heart of mine.

Jericho; or the Waters healed

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Tho' Jericho pleasantly stood Lyrics: 1 Tho' Jericho pleasantly stood, And look'd like a promising soil; The Harvest produc'd little Food, To answer the Husbandman's toil: The Water some Property had, Which poisonous prov'd to the ground; The Springs were corrupted and bad, The Streams spread a Barrenness round. 2 But soon by the cruise and the Salt, Prepar'd by Elisha's command, And Plenty enriched the Land: An Emblem sure this of Grace On fruitless dead Sinners bestow'd; For Man is in Jericho's Case, Till cur'd by the Mercy of God. 3 How noble a Creature he seems! What Knowledge, Invention, and Skill! How large and extensive his Schemes! How much can He do if He will! His Zeal to be learned and Wise, Will yield to no Limits or Bars; He Measures the Earth and the Skies, And Numbers and Marshals the Stars. 4 Yet still he is barren of Good; In vain are his Talents and Art; For Sin has infected his Blood, And poison'd the Streams of his Heart: The Cockatrice Eggs he can hatch, Or, Spider-like, cobwebs can Weave; 'Tis Madness to Labour and Watch For what will destroy and deceive. 5 But Grace,like the Salt in the Cruise, When cast in the Spring of the Soul, A wonderful Change will produce, Diffusing new Life thro' the Whole: The Wilderness blooms like a Rose, The Heart which was vile and abhorr'd, Now fruitful and beautiful grows, The Garden and Joy of the Lord. Scripture: 2 Kings 19:23

Unbelief

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Human Nature First Line: All you that love the Lord draw near Lyrics: 1 All you that love the Lord draw near, To my complaint pray lend as Ear, And help me to condole my Grief, For I'm distret by Unbelief. 2 Sometimes I'm such a stupid Clod I doubt the existence of a G O D; But still his Terrors work my Grief, While Hope is drown'd in Unbelief. 3 When thus I'm sore distrest all day, When evening comes I fain would pray, And beg for Pardon, and Relief; But there's no G O D:" says Unbelief. 4 But who did all things first create? Was it not G O D, the Wise and Great? While thus I would asswage my Grief, You have no Soul:" says Unbelief. 5 But then I make this quick Reply, What makes me then afraid to die, And after Death to dread the Grief Which I must have for Unbelief? 6 Besides the S A V I O U R came to die, The Souls of Men to purify; Which clearly proves for our Relief, That Men have Souls, O Unbelief! 7 Blest be my G O D, that now I see That J E S U S gave himself for me; I'll praise his Name, who bore my Grief, And saves my Soul from Unbelief.
