The Law of God is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: God's Word The Law of God Lyrics: 1 The law of God is good and wise and sets his will before our eyes, shows us the way of righteousness, and dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts the knowledge of our sinful hearts that we may see our lost estate and seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found and would in works of love abound it shows what deeds are his delight and should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain and wilfully in sin remain, its terror in their ear resounds and keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall its holiness condemns us all; it dooms us for our sin to die and has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, who from the curse has set us free, and humbly worship at his throne, saved by his grace through faith alone.
