By nature all men are sinners
Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Atheism practical; Practical atheism; Atheism practical; Practical atheism First Line: Fools in their hearts believe and say Lyrics: 1 Fools in their hearts believe and say,
"That all religion’s vain,
"There is no God that reigns on high,
"Or minds th’ affairs of men."
2 From thoughts so dreadful and profane
Corrupt discourse proceeds;
And in their impious hands are found
Abominable deeds.
3 The Lord, from his celestial throne
Look'd down on things below,
To find the man that sought his grace,
Or did his justice know.
4 By nature all are gone astray,
Their practice all the same;
There’s none that fears his Maker’s hand,
There’s none that loves his name.
5 Their tongues are us'd to speak deceit,
Their slanders never cease;
How swift to mischief are their feet;
Nor know the paths of peace.
6 Such seeds of sin (that bitter root)
In every heart are found;
Nor can they bear diviner fruit,
'Till grace refine the ground. Scripture: Psalm 14

Practical Atheism exposed; or, the Being and Attributes of God asserted
Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Atheism practical; Practical atheism; Atheism practical; Practical atheism First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics: 1 While men grow bold in wicked ways,
And yet a God they own,
My heart within me often says,
"Their thoughts believe there's none.
2 Their thoughts and ways at once declare,
(What e'er their lips profess)
God hath no wrath for them to fear,
Nor will they seek his grace.
3 What strange self-flattery blinds their eyes!
But there's a hastening hour,
When they shall see with sore surprise
The terrors of thy power.
4 Thy justice shall maintain its throne,
Though mountains melt away;
Thy judgments are a world unknown,
A deep, unfathom'd sea.
5 Above the heaven's created rounds,
Thy mercies, Lord, extend;
Thy truth out-lives the narrow bounds,
Where time and nature end.
6 Safety to man thy goodness brings,
Nor overlooks the beast;
Beneath the shadow of thy wings
Thy children chuse to rest.
7 [From thee, when creature-streams run low.
And mortal comforts die,
Perpetual springs of life shall flow,
And raise our pleasures high.
8 Though all created light decay,
And death close up our eyes,
Thy presence makes eternal day
Where clouds can never rise. Scripture: Psalm 36:9

Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens thy designs.
2 Forever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands,
Thy judgements are a mighty deep.
3 Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast thy bounty share;
The whole creation is thy charge,
But saints are thy peculiar care.
4 My God, how excellent thy grace!
Whence all our hope and comfort springs;
The sons of Adam in distress,
Fly to the shadow of thy wings.
5 From the provisions of thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast;
There mercy like a river flows,
And brings salvation to our taste.
6 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promis'd in thy word. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9
The Perfections and Providence of God; or, General Providence and Special Grace

Lyrics: 1 Why doth the Lord depart so far?
And why conceal his face,
When great calamities appear,

2 Lord, shall the wicked still deride
Thy justice and thy laws?
Shall they advance their heads in pride,
And slight the righteous cause.
3 They cast thy judgments from their sight,
And then insult the poor,
They boast in their exalted height,
That they shall fall no more.
4 Arise, O God, lift up thine hand,
Attend our humble cry;
No enemy shall dare to stand,
When God ascends on high.
Pause.

And say with foolish pride,
The God of heaven will ne'er engage
To fight on Zion's side.
6 But thou forever art our Lord;
And powerful is thine hand,
As when the Heathens felt thy sword,
And perish'd from thy land.
7 Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray,
And cause thine ear to hear;
Accept the vows thy children pay,
And free thy saints from fear.
8 Proud tyrants shall no more oppress,
No more despise the just;
And mighty sinners shall confess,
They are but earth and dust. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English
