The Soul ruined

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #563 (1884) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: How sad our state by nature is! Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin--how deep it stains! And Satan holds our captive minds Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace, Sounds from the sacred word; "Ho! ye despairing sinners, come, And trust a pardoning Lord." 3 My soul obeys the almighty call, And runs to this relief; I would believe thy promise, Lord: Oh, help my unbelief! 4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall; Be thou my Strength and Righteousness, My Saviour and my All.

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #562 (1884) Topics: Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man; Lost State of Man First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has given, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven. 2 The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace; Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race. 3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind, Breathes on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. 4 Our quickened souls awake and rise From the long sleep of death; Oh, heavenly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.

And pardon, though thy book record Our crimes of crimson dye? 2 So deep are they engraved,-- So terrible their fear: The righteous scarcely shall be saved, And where shall we appear? 3 Let us make all things known To him who all things sees: That so his blood may yet atone For our iniquities. 4 O thou, Physician blest, Make clean the guilty soul; And us, by many a sin oppressed, Restore, and keep us whole!

His life and blood the Shepherd pays, A ransom for the flock. 4 But God shall raise his head, O'er all the sons of men, And make him see a numerous seed, To recompense his pain. Languages: English

'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh: 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace! Teach us that death to shun; Lest we be banished from thy face, And evermore undone. Languages: English Tune Title: SHAWMUT
