The Law of God is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace 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. Scripture: Psalm 19:8 Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR

From Depths of Woe I Raise to Thee

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I raise to thee the voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me and hear my supplication: if thou iniquities dost mark, our secret sins and misdeeds dark, O who shall stand before thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain, grace, grace alone, availeth; our works, alas! are all in vain; in much the best life faileth: no man can glory in thy sight, all must alike confess thy might, and live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord, and not in mine own merit; on him my soul shall rest, his Word upholds my fainting spirit: his promised mercy is my fort, my comfort, and my sweet support; I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the live-long night, and 'til the dawn appeareth, my heart still trusteth in his might; it doubteth not nor feareth: do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, ye of the Spirit born indeed; and wait 'til God appeareth. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes, his grace much more aboundeth; his helping love no limit knows, our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is he, who will at last his Israel free from all their sin and sorrow. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOT Text Sources: Trans. composite, alt. 1961
