7) Already Condemned (Fanny Crosby 1888) John 3:17,18 (CH:9) Forgotten Hymns

Forgotten Hymns Already Condemned Lyrics: Fanny Crosby (1888) Music: Francis Augustus Blackmer Cyber Hymnal No:9 Bible Ref: John 3:17,18 "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God". (KJV) L Y R I C S God so loved the world, that in mer­cy He gave His Son as a ran­som, lost sin­ners to save; O thou who hast nev­er be­lieved on His name, Remember the truth that the Scrip­tures pro­claim: Refrain Condemned! Con­demned! al­rea­dy con­demned! On Je­sus the Sav­ior thou hast not be­lieved; Condemned! Con­demned! al­rea­dy con­demned! The life that He of­fers thou hast not re­ceived. Already con­demned in the sight of the Lord, Because thou art turn­ing away from His Word; Thou choos­est the ev­il, re­ject­est the right; Thou lov­est the dark­ness far bet­ter than light. Refrain Already con­demned, un­believ­er, thou art; O think what a sen­tence hangs ov­er thy heart; Yet why wilt thou per­ish when thou canst be free? If thou wilt ac­cept it, there’s par­don for thee. Refrain Already con­demned; wilt thou turn from thy sin? Then yield to the Spir­it now plead­ing with­in; Thro’ faith and re­pent­ance give Je­sus thy heart; Delay not a mo­ment, but come as thou art. Refrain B I O G R A P H Y O F F A N N Y C R O S B Y Fanny was the daugh­ter of John and Mer­cy Cros­by, and wife of or­gan­ist Al­ex­an­der Van Al­styne, who like her, was blind. Though blind­ed by an in­com­pe­tent doc­tor at six weeks of age, she wrote ov­er 8,000 hymns. About her blind­ness, Fan­ny said: It seemed in­tend­ed by the bless­ed pro­vi­dence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dis­pen­sa­tion. If per­fect earth­ly sight were of­fered me to­mor­row I would not ac­cept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been dis­trac­ted by the beau­ti­ful and in­ter­est­ing things ab­out me. (From Cyber Hymnal) The Lord Jesus laid a burden on my heart to help in reviving the unheard and forgotten hymns of our dear Fanny Crosby, since there are only around 27 of her hymns which are commonly sung and in use presently. Contemporary tunes have been used wherever needed, generated by AI, so that the younger generation will be encouraged to learn and sing these timeless and Biblically based hymns. May the name of the Lord Jesus Christ continue to be Worshiped, Praised, Exalted & Lifted up as we all await His soon return to this earth. Philippians 2:10,11 (KJV) "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things in the earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father". Acts 16:31 (KJV) "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house". As the United States of America celebrate their 250th year of Independence, It's our prayer that America and the World will not only revive and sing the forgotten hymns of their Un'sung' hero: FANNY CROSBY", but turn back to the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land". 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) For those of us who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour, let us lay hold of God's promises, and live Godly lives as we await Christ's coming: Isaiah 64:4 (KJV) "For since the beginning of the world, men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he had prepared for him that waiteth for him". Matthew 13:16 "But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear". (KJV)
