[Our heart hath lost by sin]

Our heart hath lost by sin
The life of righteousness,
Our mind is dark within,
And wants the light of grace,
Our senses miss the creature-road,
Which should conduct us back to God.
But lo, in Christ alone
Again the Way we see
To God and heaven made known
Through His humanity
Again the Truth His light imparts,
And Christ the Life revives our hearts.
