The law of God is good and wise

Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Sin Conviction of 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. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 19:8 Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR

The Father

How pure the soul must be, When, placed within thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but, with calm delight Can live, and look on thee! 2 The spirits that surround thy throne, May bear the burning bliss; But that is surely theirs alone, Since they have never, never known A fallen world like this. 3 There is a way for man to rise To that sublime abode: An offering and a sacrifice, A Holy Spirit's energies, An advocate with God. 4 These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above: The sons of ignorance and night May dwell in the eternal Light, Through the eternal Love!
