When Adam Sinned, Through All His Race

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Adam sinned, through all his race The dire contagion spread: As sickness, death, and deep disgrace Sprang from our fallen head. 2 Satan in strong and heavy chains, Binds the deluded soul; And every furious passion reigns, Without the least control. 3 From God and happiness we fly, To earth and sense confined; Lost in a maze of misery, Yet to our misery blind. 4 Whene’er the man begins his race, The criminal appears; And evil habits keep their pace With our increasing years. 5 Corruption flows through all our veins, Our moral beauty’s gone; The gold is fled, the dross remains; Oh sin, what hast thou done! 6 Jesus, reveal Thy pardoning grace, And draw our souls to Thee; Thou art the only hiding place, Where ruined souls can flee Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
