[Not one of all mankind]
Not one of all mankind
Can his own soul convert,
Correct a will to sin inclined,
Or change an evil heart:
This fleshly filthiness
We never can remove,
Earthly expel, and fill the place
With pure, celestial love.
Can his own soul convert,
Correct a will to sin inclined,
Or change an evil heart:
249
We never can remove,
Earthly expel, and fill the place
With pure, celestial love.
This filthiness of pride
Mocks all our efforts vain;
The plague we from each other hide
Will in our hearts remain;
Corruption's fountain spreads
Throughout our lives unclean;
Defiles our thoughts, and words, and deeds,
Till all we are is sin.
Mocks all our efforts vain;
The plague we from each other hide
Will in our hearts remain;
Corruption's fountain spreads
Throughout our lives unclean;
Defiles our thoughts, and words, and deeds,
Till all we are is sin.
Who but the' Almighty can
The work of wonders do,
Efface our dire, original stain,
Or form our spirit new?
What but the blood Divine
Which did for sinners flow,
Can purge so foul an heart as mine,
And wash me white as snow?
The work of wonders do,
Efface our dire, original stain,
Or form our spirit new?
What but the blood Divine
Which did for sinners flow,
Can purge so foul an heart as mine,
And wash me white as snow?
Omnipotent to save,
I trust my Lord, my God,
And rise with confidence to lave
My nature in Thy blood:
Thy blood, by faith applied,
Shall speak my pardon sure,
And make my soul Thy spotless bride
And keep me always pure.
I trust my Lord, my God,
And rise with confidence to lave
My nature in Thy blood:
Thy blood, by faith applied,
Shall speak my pardon sure,
And make my soul Thy spotless bride
And keep me always pure.
This is that holiness,
That sinless purity,
Which saints in Thee alone possess,
When all possess'd by Thee.
Sinking, to this I rise,
And lost in Jesus, prove,
Thou art my calling's highest prize,
Thou art my perfect Love.
That sinless purity,
Which saints in Thee alone possess,
When all possess'd by Thee.
250
And lost in Jesus, prove,
Thou art my calling's highest prize,
Thou art my perfect Love.
