-How sad our state by nature is,
-Our sin how deep it stains.
-And Satan binds our captive souls
-Fast in his slavish chains.
-But there's a voice of sov'reign grace
-Sounds from God's sacred word;
-Ho! Ye despairing sinners come,
-And trust upon the Lord.
-O may we hear th'almighty call
-And run to this relief.
-We would believe thy promise,
-Lord, O help our unbelief.
-To the blest fountain of thy blood
-Teach me, O Lord, to fly;
-There may we wash our spotted souls
-From crimes of deepest dye.
-Poor, guilty, weak and helpless worms,
-Into thine hands we fall;
-Be Thou our strength and righteousness,
-Our Jesus and our all.}}
