401. Your Works, Not Mine, O Christ

1 Your works, not mine, O Christ,
Speak gladness to this heart.
They tell me all is done;
They bid my fear depart.

Refrain:
To whom but you, who can alone
For sin atone,Lord, shall I flee?

2 Your blood, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my sinful soul;
Your wounds, not mine, contain
The balm that makes me whole. [Refrain]

3 Your cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the dreadful load
Of sins that none could bear
But the incarnate God. [Refrain]

4 Your death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine
Would have been all too few. [Refrain]

5 Your righteousness, O Christ,
Alone can cover me;
No other righteousness
Can set a sinner free. [Refrain]
