Enslaved to Sense, to Pleasure Prone

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1346 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Enslaved to sense, to pleasure prone, Fond of created good, Father, our helplessness we own, And trembling taste our food. 2. Trembling we taste; for, ah! no more To Thee the creatures lead; Changed, they exert a baneful power, And poison while they feed. 3. Cursed for the sake of wretched man, They now engross him whole; With pleasing force on earth detain, And sensualize his soul. 4. Groveling on earth we still must lie, Till Christ the curse repeal; Till Christ, descending from on high, Infected nature heal. 5. Come then, our heavenly Adam, come, Thy healing influence give, Hallow our food, reverse our doom, And bid us eat and live! 6. The bondage of corruption break! For this our spirits groan; Thy only will we fain would seek, O, save us from our own! 7. Turn the full stream of nature’s tide: Let all our actions tend To Thee, their source; Thy love the guide, Thy glory be the end. 8. Earth then a scale to Heaven shall be, Sense shall point out the road, The creatures all shall lead to Thee, And all we taste be God. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FRANCES

Long Have I Seemed to Serve Thee, Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3904 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Long have I seemed to serve Thee, Lord, With unavailing pain: I fasted, prayed, and read Thy Word, And heard it preached in vain. 2. Oft did I with th’assembly join, And near Thine altar drew; A form of godliness was mine, The power I never knew. 3. I rested in the outward law; Nor knew its deep design: The length and breadth I never saw, The height of love divine. 4. To please Thee thus, at length I see, I vainly hoped and strove: For what are outward things to Thee, Unless they spring from love? 5. I see the perfect law requires Truth in the inward parts: Our full consent, our whole desires, Our undivided hearts. 6. But I of means have made my boast, Of means an idol made; The spirit in the letter lost, The substance in the shade. 7. Where am I now, or what my hope? What can my weakness do? Jesus! to Thee my soul looks up: ’Tis Thou must make it new. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FRANCES
