Pride lamented
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Lamenting pride; Pride lamented First Line: Oft have I turn'd my eye within Lyrics: 1 Oft have I turn'd my eye within,
And brought to light some latent sin;
But pride, the vice I most detest,
Still lurks securely in my breast.
2 Here with a thousand arts she tries
To dress me in a fair disguise,
To make a guilty wretched worm
Put on an angel's brightest form.
3 She hides my follies from mine eyes,
And lifts my virtues to the skies;
And while the specious tale she tells,
Her own deformity conceals.
4 Rend, O my God, the veil away,
Bring forth the monster to the day;
Expose her hideous form to view,
And all her restless power subdue.
5 So shall humility divine
Again possess this heart of mine;
And form a temple for my God,
Which he will make his lov'd abode. Languages: English
Pride lamented
The effects of the fall lamented
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall of man, its effects lamented; Fall of man, its effects lamented First Line: See human nature sunk in shame Lyrics: 1 See human nature sunk in shame;
See scandals pour'd on Jesu's name;
The father wounded through the son;
The world abus'd, the soul undone.
2 See the short course of vain delight,
Closing in everlasting night;
In flames, that no abatement know,
Kindled by sin the source of woe.
3 My God, I feel the mournful scene;
My bowels yearn o'er dying men;
And fain new pity would reclaim,
And snatch the fire-brands from the flame.
4 But feeble my compassion proves,
And can but weep, where most it loves;
Thy own all-saving arm employ,
And turn these drops of grief to joy. Languages: English

The effects of the fall lamented
A sinner lamenting the delay of divine grace
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CLXIX (1802) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sinner Lamenting delay of grace; Sinner Lamenting delay of grace First Line: Long have I walk'd this dreary road Lyrics: 1 Long have I walk'd this dreary road,
Beset with darkness round;
Nor seen nor heard a smiling God,
Nor one bright moment found.
2 Others, who once did join my speech,
And mourn'd in painful lay,
Now mounting up with rapture, stretch
To seize the heav'nly day.
3 Far left behind to feel my woe,
With harden'd heart to groan,
Each pray'r, each struggle sinks me low,
Each breath repeats my moan.
4 The lengthen'd day, the gloomy night,
Draw fast the bands of grief;
Sometimes despair o'erclouds my sight,
And says, there's no relief.
5 Then conscience thunders, Sinai flames,
I try again to rise;
The trial fails, and conscience blames
My pray'rs, my tears, my cries.
6 If hope perchance a moment gleams,
And says, Christ's blood was split;
My heart of sin beclouds the beams,
And seals my death and guilt.
7 'Tis thus perplex'd, forlorn and lost,
I spend my weary days;
No Jesus comes my hopes are crost,
While others sing and praise.

A sinner lamenting the delay of divine grace
An awakened sinner lamenting his past security
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sinner Lamenting his security First Line: Alas, alas how blind I've been Lyrics: 1 Alas! alas how blind I've been,
How little of myself I've seen!
Sprotive I sail'd the sensual tide,
Thoughtless of God whom I defy'd.
2 I heard of heav'n, I heard of hell,
Where bliss and woe eternal dwell;
But mock'd the threats of truth divine,
And scorn'd the place where angels shine.
3 My angry heart refus'd the blood
Of a descending, suffering God;
And guilty passion boldly broke
The holy law which heav'n had spoke.
4 Th' alluring world control'd my choice,
When conscience spoke, I hush'd its voice,
Securely laugh'd along the road,
Which hapless millions first had trod.
5 Now the almighty God comes near,
And makes me shake with awful fear;
His terrors all my strength exhaust,
My fear grows high, my peace is lost.
6 With keen remorse I feel my wound,
And seem to hear the dreadful sound,
"Depart from me, thou wretch undone,
Go reap thy sin, and fell my frown."
7 Thus ends my mirthful thoughtless life,
Fill'd up with folly, guilt and strife;
Perhaps I sink to endless pain,
Nor hear the voice of joy again.

The Effects of the Fall lamented
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XLII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall of man Lamented First Line: Arise, my tenderest thoughts, arise Lyrics: 1 Arise, my tenderest thoughts, arise,
To torrents melt my streaming eyes;
And thou, my heart, with anguish feel
Those evils which thou canst not heal.
2 See human nature sunk in shame;
See scandals pour'd on Jesus' name:
The Father wounded through the son;
The world abus'd; the soul undone.
3 See the short course of vain delight
Closing in everlasting night;—
In flames that no abatement know,
Tho' briny tears for ever flow.
4 My God, I feel the mournful scene;
My bowels yearn o'er dying men;
And fain my pity would reclaim,
And snatch the firebrands from the flame.
5 But feeble my compassion proves,
And can but weep, where most it loves;
Thy own all-saving arm employ,
And turn these drops of grief to joy.

Declension lamented
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLVI (1799) Topics: Declension Lamented First Line: Once, O Lord, thy garden flourish'd Refrain First Line: Eights and Sevens Lyrics: 1 Once, O Lord, thy garden flourish'd,
Ev'ry part look'd gay and green;
Then thy word our spirits nourish'd,
Happy seasons we have seen!
2 But a drought has since succeeded,
And a sad decline we see;
Lord, thy help is greatly needed,
Help can only come from thee.
3 Where are those we counted leaders,
Fill'd with zeal, and love and truth?
Old professors, tall as cedars,
Bright examples to our youth!
4 Some, in whom we once delighted,
We shall meet no more below,
Some, alas! we fear are blighted,
Scarce a single leaf they show.
5 Younger plants--the sight how pleasant,
Cover'd thick with blossoms stood;
But they cause us grief at present,
Frosts have nipp'd them in their bud!
6 Dearest Saviour, hasten hither,
Thou canst make them bloom again;
Oh, permit them not to wither,
Let not all our hopes be vain!
