When Adam fell, the Frame entire

Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #86 (1732) Lyrics: I. When Adam fell, the Frame entire Of Nature was infected, The Source, whence came the Poison dire, Was not to be corrected, But by God's Grace, which saves our Race From its entire Destruction. The fatal Lust, indulg'd at first, Of Death was the Production. II. Since EVE by Satan was intic'd T'indulge her Deviation From GOD'S Command (which she despis'd," And ruin the Creation; What shou'd be done? but GOD the SON Must in our very Nature Retrieve our Loss by's Blood and Cross, And save the Rebel-Creature. III. By one Man's Guilt we are enslav'd To Sin, Death, Hell and Devil; But by another's Grace was sav'd Mankind from all this Evil: And as we all, by ADAM'S Fall Were sentenc'd to Damnation; So the Nam-God has by his Blood Regain'd our lost Salvation. IV. Has God bestow'd his only Son On us rebellious Creatures, To save our Souls, which were undone, And wash our sinful Natures From all their Guilt by th' Blood he spilt; By's Death and Resurrection? Then no Delay; this is the Day T'insure thy own Election. V. CHRIST is the Way, the Light, the Door, The Hope and Life eternal, The Father's Word and Counsellor To conquer Pow'rs infernal; Our strongest Shield, t'obtain the Field; The Helmet of Salvation. Have we a Share in him, who dare Assign us to Damnation? VI. That Man is impious and unjust, His Hope's Abomination, Who does in God not put his Trust, For Help and for Salvation: He that will frame another Name Than CHRIST'S, to justifie him, Will soon renounce his Confidence, When SATAN comes to try him. VII. But who makes God his Hope and Trust, Shall never be confounded, No Cleaver to this Rock is lost, Tho' ev'ry where surrounded With daring Foes and trying Woes; His Faith yet stands unshaken. Who loves the Lord, shall by no Sword Nor Woe be overtaken. VIII. I send my Cries unto the Lord, My Heart implores his Favour, To grant me of his living Word A never failing Savour; That Sin and Shame may lose the Claim To hinder my Salvation; In CHRIST, the Scope of all my Hope, I 'scape Death and Damnation. IX. Thy Word's a Lanthorn to my Feet; My Soul's best Information; My surest Guide and Path to meet The Morning of Salvation: This leading Star, where't doth appear, Reveals those heav'nly Graces, Which are laid up for all that hope To taste the Lord's Embraces.

Lazarus Spengler

1479 - 1534 Author of "When Adam fell, the frame entire" Spengler, Lazarus, was the 9th of the 21 children of Georg Spengler and Agnes his wife, and was born March 13,1479, at Nürnberg, where his father was clerk of the Imperial court of Justice (Landgerichtschreiber). He entered the University of Leipzig in 1494; but on the death of his father on Dec. 27, 1496, he returned to Nürnberg, obtained a position in the town clerk's office, in 1507 became himself town clerk (Raths Syndikus), and in 1516 also Rathsherr. When Luther was passing through Nürnberg, in 1518, on his way to Augsburg, Spengler made his acquaintance. He warmly espoused the Reformation doctrines, published in 1519 his Schutzre in Luther's favour, and himself became one of the leaders in the Reformation work at Nürnberg. He was one of those condemned by name in the Bull of Excommunication launched by Pope Leo the Tenth, on June 15, 1520, against Luther and his friends. Dr. Eck sent the Bull to the Town Council of Nürnberg, and urged them to proceed against Spengler, but they ignored it, and then sent him as one of their representatives to the Diet of Worms, in April 1521. In 1525 Spengler went to Wittenberg to consult with Luther and Melanchthon as to turning the Benedictine Aegidienstift (Schottenkloster) into an Evangelical Gymnasium, and this was opened as such by Melanchthon on May 23, 1526. Spengler was also the prime mover to the Visitation of 1528, and upheld strict Lutheranism in the negotiations at the Diet of Augsburg in 1530. He died at Nürnberg, Sept. 7, 1534 (Koch, i, 308 ; Will's Nürnbergisches Gelehrten-Lexikon, iii., p. 731; Herzog's Real-Encyklopädie, xiv., 516). Spengler was a trusty friend and valued counsellor of Luther and the principal Reformers of Germany. He also interested himself in the improvement of the church services, and in 1532 was able to have an authorised Liturgy (Kirchenordnung) printed. He wrote a considerable quantity of verse, sacred and secular ; but only two hymns are ascribed to him. The one is an indifferent version of Ps. cxxvii., beginning "Vergebens ist all Müh und Kost." The other is:— Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt. Fall and Redemption. First published in the Geystliche Gesangk Buchleyn, Wittenberg, 1524, and thence in Wackernagel, iii. p. 48, in 9 stanzas of 10 lines…During the Reformation period it attained a wide popularity as a didactic and confessional hymn of the Evangelical faith. It is one of the most characteristic hymns of the time, conceived in the spirit of deep and earnest piety, eminently Scriptural, and setting forth the Reformation teachings in concise and antithetical form, but is however too much like a system of theology in rhyme. The translations are:—- 1. "By Adam's fall was so forlorne." By Bishop Coverdale, 1539, reprinted in his Remains, 1846, p. 556. 2. "When Adam fell our total Frame." By J. C. Jacobi in his Psalmodia Germanica, pt. ii., 1725, p. 17. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --Excerpts from John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Johann Christian Jacobi

1670 - 1750 Translator of "When Adam fell, the frame entire" Jacobi, John Christian, a native of Germany, was born in 1670, and appointed Keeper of the Royal German Chapel, St. James's Palace, London, about 1708. He held that post for 42 years, and died Dec. 14, 1750. He was buried in the Church of St. Paul's, Covent Garden. His publications included :— (1) A Collection of Divine Hymns, Translated from the High Dutch. Together with their Proper Tunes and Thorough Bass. London: Printed and Sold by J. Young, in St. Paul’s Churchyard; . . . 1720. This edition contains 15 hymns. Two years later this collection, with a few changes in the text and much enlarged, was republished as (2) Psalmodia Germanica; or a Specimen of Divine Hymns. Translated from the High Dutch. Together with their Proper Tunes and Thorough Bass. London: J. Young . 1722. This edition contained 62 hymns, of which 3 ("He reigns, the Lord our Saviour reigns"; "Is God withdrawing"? "Shepherds rejoice") and the first stanza of another ("Raise your devotion, mortal tongues," from "Hosannah to the Prince of Life") were taken from I. Watts. A second part was added in 1725, and was incorporated with the former part in 1732. London, G. Smith. After Jacobi's death the Psalmodia Germanica was republished, in 1765, by John Haberkorn, with a Supplement of 32 pieces. [George Arthur Crawford, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
