A-kin to dust and worms?

And birds that cut the air with wings,
And fish that cleave the sea.

Of dust and worms thy power can frame
A monument of praise.

And sucklings, thou canst draw
Surprising honours to thy name!

And fish at his command,
Bring their large shoals to Peter's net,
Bring tribute to his hand.

Shone through the fleshy cloud;

And his eternal honours sound,
From all things that have breath.

Backward with humble Shame we look
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LVII (1766) Topics: The first and second Adam Lyrics: 1 Backward with humble Shame we look
On our Original,
How is our Nature dash'd and broke
In our first Father's Fall!
2 To all that's Good, averse and blind,
But prone to all that's Ill;
What dreadful Darkness veils our Mind,
How obstinate our Will!
[3 Conceiv'd in Sin (O wretched State!)
Before we draw our Breath;
The first young Pulse begins to beat
Iniquity and Death.
4 How strong in our degen'rate Blood,
The old Corruption reigns,
And, mingling with the crooked Flood,
Wanders through all our Veins!]
[5 Wild and unwholesome as the Root,
Will all the Branches be;
How can we hope for living Fruit
From such a deadly Tree?
6 What mortal Pow'r from Things unclean
Can pure Productions bring?
Who can command a vital Stream
From an infected Spring?]
7 Yet, mighty God, thy wond'rous Love
Can make our Nature clean,
While Christ and Grace prevail above
The Tempter, Death, and Sin.
8 The second Adam shall restore
The Ruins of the first;
Hosanna to that Sov'reign Pow'r
That new-creates our Dust, Scripture: Romans 5:12-14 Languages: English

O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.
When to thy works on high
I raise my wondering eyes,
And see the moon, complete in light,
Adorn the darksome skies
When I survey the stars,
And all their shining forms,
Lord, what is man, that worthless thing,
Akin to dust and worms?
Lord, what is worthless man,
That thou shouldst love him so?
Next to thine angels is he placed,
And lord of all below.
Thine honors crown his head,
While beasts, like slaves, obey;
And birds that cut the air with wings,
And fish that cleave the sea.
How rich thy bounties are!
And wondrous are thy ways
Of dust and worms thy power can frame
A monument of praise.
[Out of the mouths of babes
And sucklings thou canst draw
Surprising honors to thy name,
And strike the world with awe.
O Lord, our heav'nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o'er the heav'ns they shine.]

O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great

When I behold thy works on high,
The moon that rules the night,
And stars that well adorn the sky,

Th' obedient seas and fishes own
His Godhead and his power.
The waves lay spread beneath his feet;
And fish, at his command,

Bring tribute to his hand.
These lesser glories of the Son
Shone through the fleshly cloud;
Now, we behold him on his throne,
And men confess him God.]
Let him be crowned with majesty,
Who bowed his head to death;
And be his honors sounded high,
By all things that have breath.
Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heav'nly state
Let the whole earth proclaim.
