Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 153 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that God has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.
2 The sovereign will of God alone
Creates us heirs of grace;
Born in the image of his Son,
A new, peculiar race.
3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath. Topics: Atonement Necessary Scripture: Ezekiel 37:9 Used With Tune: HUMMEL
