Sin, When Viewed by Scripture Light (EN 5008)

EN 5008 Sin, When Viewed by Scripture Light

2Cor.11.14

Versi Version 1

1

Sin, when viewed by scripture light,

Is a horrid, hateful sight;

But when seen in Satan’s glass,

Then it wears a pleasing face.

2

When the gospel trumpet sounds,

When I think how grace abounds,

When I feel sweet peace within,

Then I’d rather die than sin.

3

When the cross I view by faith,

Sin is madness, poison, death;

Tempt me not, ’tis all in vain,

Sure I ne’er can yield again.

4

Satan, for awhile debarred,

When he finds me off my guard,

Puts his glass before my eyes,

Quickly other thoughts arise.

5

What before excited fears,

Rather pleasing now appears;

If a sin, it seems so small,

Or, perhaps, no sin at all.

6

Often thus, through sin’s deceit,

Grief, and shame, and loss I meet,

Like a fish, my soul mistook,

Saw the bait, but not the hook.

7

O my Lord, what shall I say?

How can I presume to pray?

Not a word have I to plead,

Sins, like mine, are black indeed!

8

Made, by past experience, wise,

Let me learn thy word to prize;

Taught by what I’ve felt before,

Let me Satan’s glass abhor.
