Sin, Like a Venomous Disease (EN 3413)

EN 3413 Sin, Like a Venomous Disease

Mark.5.2

Versi Version 1

1

Sin, like a venomous disease,

Infects our vital blood;

The only balm is sovereign grace,

And the physician, God.

2

Our beauty and our strength are fled,

And we draw near to death;

But Christ the Lord recalls the dead

With His almighty breath.

3

Madness by nature reigns within,

The passions burn and rage,

Till God’s own Son, with skill divine,

The inward fire assuage.

4

We lick the dust, we grasp the wind,

And solid good despise;

Such is the folly of the mind,

Till Jesus makes us wise.

5

We give our souls the wounds they feel,

We drink the poisonous gall,

And rush with fury down to hell;

But Heav’n prevents the fall.

6

The man possessed among the tombs

Cuts his own flesh, and cries;

He foams and raves, till Jesus comes,

And the foul spirit flies.
