Alas! By Nature How Depraved

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Alas! by nature how depraved, How prone to every ill! Our lives, to Satan, how enslaved, How obstinate our will! 2. And can such sinners be restored, Such rebels reconciled? Can grace itself the means afford To make a foe a child? 3. Yes, grace has found the wondrous means Which shall effectual prove; To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love. 4. Jesus for sinners undertakes, And died that we may live; His blood a full atonement makes, And cries aloud, Forgive. 5. Yet one thing more must grace provide, To bring us home to God; Or we shall slight the Lord, who died, And trample on His blood. 6. The Holy Spirit must reveal The Savior’s work and worth; Then the hard heart begins to feel A new and heavenly birth. 7. Thus bought with blood, and born again, Redeemed, and saved, by grace Rebels, in God’s own house obtain A son’s and daughter’s place. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns, (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 29

Dear Lord! Behold Our Sore Distress

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord! behold our sore distress; Our sins attempt to reign; Stretch out Thine arm of conquering grace, And let Thy foes be slain. 2 The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights Thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of Thy power, And chain him to the deep. 3 Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach Thine ear, Nor tears affect Thine eye? 4 If Thou despise a mortal groan, Yet hear a Savior’s blood; An advocate so near the throne Pleads and prevails with God. 5 He brought the Spirit’s powerful sword To slay our deadly foes; Our sins shall die beneath Thy Word, And hell in vain oppose. 6 How boundless is our Father’s grace, In height, and depth, and length! He makes his Son our righteousness, His Spirit is our strength. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1706-09, Book 2

And canst Thou let the rebel live And own Thy wandering child? 2 All sin, all rags, just as I am, My Father, will I come, All over guilt, I blush with shame, And yet through Christ I come. 3 Thy choicest robe shall deck me well Thy smile, my spirit cheer, Bright angels loud my welcome tell, Thy voice disperse my fear. 4 Oh wondrous grace! Oh love divine! That lets the sinner live, Father, receive me now as Thine, And now Thy welcome give!

Awake, My Drowsy Soul

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: Awake, my drowsy soul, awake Lyrics: 1 Awake, my drowsy soul, awake And view the threatening scene: The foes in legion camp around, And treachery lurks within. 2 ’Tis not this mortal life alone These enemies assail; All thine eternal hopes are lost, If their attempts prevail. 3 Now to the work of God awake; Behold thy Maker near; The various, arduous task pursue With vigor and with fear. 4 The awful register goes on, Th’account will surely come, And opening day, or closing night May bear me to my doom. 5 Tremendous thought! How deep it strikes! Yet like a dream it flies, Till God’s own voice the slumbers chase From these deluded eyes.

When Wild Confusion Wrecks The Air

Author: Mather Byles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When wild confusion wrecks the air And tempests rend the skies, Whilst blended ruin, clouds and fire In harsh disorder rise; 2 Safe in my Savior’s love I’ll stand And strike a tuneful song, My harp all trembling in my hand, And all inspired my tongue. 3 I’ll shout aloud, Ye thunders, roll, And shake the sullen sky; Your sounding voices, pole to pole In angry murmurs cry. 4 The earth, she totters on her base, And clouds the heav’n deform; Blow, all ye winds from every place, And rush the final storm. 5 Come quickly, blessèd hope, appear, Bid swift thy chariot fly, Let angels tell thy coming near, And snatch me to the sky. 6 Around thy wheels in gladdest throng I’d bear a joyful part; All hallelujah on my tongue, All rapture in my heart.
