Mark 7:32: How sad the state of fallen man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
How sad the state of fallen man!
Incapable the truth to hear,
He could not of his fall complain,
Till God did in our flesh appear,
Who came the deaf and dumb to seek,
Who brings us power to hear, and speak.
His hand on us if Jesus lay,
Our cure already is begun.
The stammerer then attempts to pray,
For mercy at His feet we groan,
And while our misery we confess
We hear Him whisper, Go in peace.
