The law of God is good and wise

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday in Lent 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 dead in sin and woe 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 power 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.

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of His grace. 4 She bowed her to the angel's word, Declaring what the Father willed, And suddenly the promised Lord That pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, He lay within the manger bed, And He whose bounty feedeth all At Mary's breast Himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky Sang praise above the silent field, To shepherds poor the Lord most high, The one great Shepherd, was revealed. 7 All glory for this blessed morn To God the Father ever be; All praise to Thee, O Virgin-born, All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.
