How helpless guilty nature lies

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart unchanged can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught, beneath a power divine The stubborn will subdue? ’Tis Thine, Almighty Saviour, Thine To form the heart anew. 3 ’Tis Thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason’s darkened eyes. 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live, A beam of heaven, a vital ray ’Tis Thine alone to give. 5 O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine! Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord,! be Thine. Topics: Sin and Redemption; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: SALISBURY

Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice of heav’n’s eternal Lord; men of Gomorrah! bend your ear submissive to his word. 2 ’Tis thus he speaks; To what intent are your oblations vain? Why load my altars with your gifts, polluted and profane? 3 Burnt-off’rings long may blaze to heav’n, and incense cloud the skies; the worship and the worshipper are hateful in my eyes. 4 Your rites, your fasts, your pray’rs, I scorn, and pomp of solemn days: I know your hearts are full of guile, and crooked are your ways. 5 But cleanse your hands, ye guilty race, and cease from deeds of sin; learn in your actions to be just, and pure in heart within. 6 Mock not my name with honours vain, but keep my holy laws; do justice to the friendless poor, and plead the widow’s cause. 7 Then though your guilty souls are stain'd with sins of crimson dye, yet, through my grace, with snow itself in whiteness they shall vie. Scripture: Isaiah 1:10-19 Used With Tune: SALISBURY
