Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXXII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: In sin by blinded passions led Lyrics: 1 In sin by blinded passions led,
In search of fancy's good we range;
The paths of disappointment tread,
To nothing fix'd, but love of change.
2 But when the Holy Ghost imparts
A knowledge of the Saviour's love;
Our wand'ring, weary, restless hearts,
Are then renew'd no more to rove.
3 Now a new principle takes place,
Which guides and animates the will,
This love, another name for grace,
Constrains to good, and bars from ill.
4 By love's pure light we soon perceive
Our noblest bliss and proper end;
And gladly ev'ry idol leave,
To love and serve our Lord and friend. Topics: Regeneration Languages: English
