Author: Horatio Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #134 (1972) Refrain First Line: Thy work alone, my Saviour Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done,
Can save this guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne,
Can make my spirit whole.
Refrain:
Thy work alone, my Saviour,
Can ease this weight of sin;
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God,
Can give me peace within.
2 Not what I feel or do,
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers, or sighs, or tears,
Can ease my awful load. [Refrain]
3 Thy love to me, O God,
Not mine, O Lord, to Thee,
Can rid me of this dark unrest,
And set my spirit free. [Refrain]
4 No other work save Thine,
No meaner blood will do;
No strength, save that which is divine,
Can bear me safely through. [Refrain]
5 I praise the God of grace,
I trust His love and might;
He calls me His, I call Him mine;
My God, my joy, my light! [Refrain] Topics: Hymns, Songs, Chorales Blood Atonement, Redemption of Jesus Christ Languages: English Tune Title: MCGRANAHAN
