Author: Peacock Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CXLVII (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: When all mankind corrupt Lyrics: 1 When all mankind corrupt,
Did from their Maker stray,
Pursuing each the fatal road,
That to destruction lay.
2 With pity most divine,
From his bright throne above;
Did Jesus graciously descend,
Borne on the wings of love.
3 Involv'd in guilt he found
The whole apostate race;
Where sin and guilt did most abound,
Still more abounds his grace.
4 While heirs of wrath we stood,
To death and hell a prey;
To ransom sinners with his blood,
He gave his life away.
