The Good that I would I do not
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXXXI (1791) Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: I would but cannot sing Lyrics: 1 I would, but cannot sing,
Guilt has untun'd my Voice,
The Serpent sin's envenom'd Sting
Has poison'd all my Joys.
2 I know the Lord is nigh,
And would, but cannot pray;
For Satan meets me when I try,
And frights my Soul away.
3 I would, but can't Repent,
Tho' I endeavor oft;
This stony Heart can ne'er relent
'Till Jesus makes it soft.
4 I would, but cannot Love,
Tho' woo'd by Love Divine;
No Arguments have pow'r to move
A Soul so base as mine.
5 I would, but cannot rest
In God's most holy Will;
I know what he appoints is best,
Yet Murmur at it still.
6 Oh could I but believe!
Then all would easy be;
I would, but cannot; Lord relieve;
My Help must come from thee!
7 But if indeed I wou'd,
Tho' I can nothing do;
Yet the Desire is something good,
For which my Praise is due.
8 By Nature prone to Ill,
Till thine appointed Hour,
I was as destitute of Will,
As now I am of Pow'r.
9 Wilt thou not Crown, at length,
The Work thou hast begun?
And with a Will afford me Strength,
In all thy Ways to run. Languages: English

A living and a dead Faith, collected from several Scriptures
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXX (1791) Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n Lyrics: 1 Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n,
And make their empty boast,
Of inward Joys, and Sins forgiv'n,
While they are Slaves to Lust.
2 Vain are our Fancies, airy Flights,
If Faith be cold and dead;
None but a living Pow'r unites
To Christ the living Head.
3 'Tis Faith that changes all the Heart;
'Tis faith that Works by Love;
That bids all sinful Joys depart,
And lifts the Thoughts above.
4 'Tis Faith that conquers Earth and Hell
By a celestial Pow'r;
This is the Grace that shall prevail
In the decisive Hour.
[5 Faith must obey her Father's Will,
As well as trust his Grace,
A pard'ning God is jealous still
For his own Holiness.
6 When from the Curse he sets us free,
He makes our Natures clean,
Nor would he send his Son to be
The Minister of Sin.
7 His Spirit purifies our Frame,
And Seals our Peace with God;
Jesus and his Salvation came
By Water and by Blood.] Languages: English

Human Weakess owned
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXXV (1791) Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: My Lord, how great's the Favour! Lyrics: 1 My Lord, how great's the Favour!
That I a Sinner Poor,
Can thro' thy Blood's sweet Savour
Approach thy Mercy's door:
And find an open Passage
Unto the Throne of Grace;
There wait the welcome Message,
That bids me go in Peace.
2 Lord, I'm an helpless Creature,
Full of the deepest Need.
Throughout defil'd by Nature
Stupid, and inly dead:
My Strength is perfect Weakness,
And all I have is Sin;
My Heart is all Uncleanness,
A Den of Thieves within.
3 In this forlorn Condition,
Who shall afford me Aid?
Where shall I find Compassion
But in the Church's Head?
Jesus thou art all Pity,
O take me to thine Arms,
And exercise thy Mercy,
To save me from all Harms.
4 I'll never cease repeating
My numberless Complaints;
But ever be intreating
The glorious King of Saints
'Til I attain the Image
Of him I inly Love;
And pay my greatful Homage
With all the Saints above.
5 Then I, with all in Glory,
Will thankfully relate
Th' amazing, pleasing Story
Of Jesu's Love so great;
In this blest Contemplation
I ever shall be well;
And prove such Consolation,
As none below can tell. Languages: English

The Stony Heart
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCIV (1791) Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Oh, For a Glance of heav'nly Day Lyrics: 1 Oh, For a Glance of heav'nly Day,
To take this stubborn Stone away;
And thaw with Beams of Love Divine
This Heart, this frozen Heart of mine!
2 The Rocks can rent; the Earth can quake;
The Seas can roar; the Mountains shake;
Of Feeling all Things shew some Sign:
But this unfeeling Heart of mine.
3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt,
Dear Lord, an Adamant would melt;
but I can read each moving Line,
And nothing move this Heart of mine.
4 Thy Judgments too unmov'd I hear,
(Amazing Thought!) which Devils fear,
Goodness and Wrath in vain combine,
To stir this stupid Heart of mine.
5 But something yet can do the Deed;
And that dear Something much I need.
Thy Spirit can from Dross refine;
And move and melt this Heart of mine. Languages: English

Jericho; or the Waters healed
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLXXXIX (1791) Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Tho' Jericho pleasantly stood Lyrics: 1 Tho' Jericho pleasantly stood,
And look'd like a promising soil;
The Harvest produc'd little Food,
To answer the Husbandman's toil:
The Water some Property had,
Which poisonous prov'd to the ground;
The Springs were corrupted and bad,
The Streams spread a Barrenness round.
2 But soon by the cruise and the Salt,
Prepar'd by Elisha's command,
And Plenty enriched the Land:
An Emblem sure this of Grace
On fruitless dead Sinners bestow'd;
For Man is in Jericho's Case,
Till cur'd by the Mercy of God.
3 How noble a Creature he seems!
What Knowledge, Invention, and Skill!
How large and extensive his Schemes!
How much can He do if He will!
His Zeal to be learned and Wise,
Will yield to no Limits or Bars;
He Measures the Earth and the Skies,
And Numbers and Marshals the Stars.
4 Yet still he is barren of Good;
In vain are his Talents and Art;
For Sin has infected his Blood,
And poison'd the Streams of his Heart:
The Cockatrice Eggs he can hatch,
Or, Spider-like, cobwebs can Weave;
'Tis Madness to Labour and Watch
For what will destroy and deceive.
5 But Grace,like the Salt in the Cruise,
When cast in the Spring of the Soul,
A wonderful Change will produce,
Diffusing new Life thro' the Whole:
The Wilderness blooms like a Rose,
The Heart which was vile and abhorr'd,
Now fruitful and beautiful grows,
The Garden and Joy of the Lord.
