Not what my hands have done

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Not what my hands have done Can save my guilty soul; Not what my toiling flesh has borne Can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my awful load. 2 Thy work alone, O Christ, Can ease this weight of sin; Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, Can give me peace within. Thy love to me, O God, Not mine, O Lord to thee, Can rid me of this dark unrest And set my spirit free. 3 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy pow'r alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. No other work, save thine, No other blood will do; No strength, save that which is divine, Can bear me safely through. 4 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfalt'ring lip and heart I call this Saviour mine. This cross dispels each doubt; I bury in his tomb Each thought of unbelief and fear, Each ling'ring shade of gloom. 5 I praise the God of grace; I trust his truth and might; He calls me his, I call him mine, My God, my joy, my light. 'Tis he who saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love because he loveth me, I live because he lives. Amen. Scripture: Titus 3:5 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

We are redeemed from guilt and shame and called to holiness. But not for works which we have done, or shall hereafter do, hath God decreed on sinful men salvation to bestow. 2 The glory, Lord, from first to last, is due to thee alone; aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob thee of thy crown. Our glorious Surety undertook to satisfy for man, and grace was given us in him before the world began. 3 This is thy will, that in thy love we ever should abide; that earth and hell should not prevail to turn thy word aside. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to heav'n attain, partake on earth the purposed grace and then with Jesus reign. Scripture: Ephesians 1:4 Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW

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.
