Can sinners hope for heaven,
Who love this world so well?
Or dream of future happiness
While on the road to hell?
Shall they hosannas sing,
With an unhallowed tongue;
Shall palms adorn the guilty hand
Which does its neighbour wrong.
Can sin’s deceitful way
Conduct to Zion’s hill;
Or those expect with God to reign,
Who disregard his will?
‘Tis nought but grace divine,
Can solid hope afford;
The pure in heart alone shall see
The glory of the Lord.
---Alternative verses---
None shall hosannas sing,
With an unhallowed tongue;
Not palms adorn the guilty hand
Which does its neighbour wrong.
Ne’er can sin’s downward way
Conduct to Zion’s hill;
Nor those expect with God to reign,
Who disregard his will.
Thy grace, O God, alone,
Can a good hope afford;
The pardoned and renewed shall see
The glory of the Lord.
Thy grace, O God, alone,
Good hope can e'er afford;
The pardoned and the poor shall see
The glory of the Lord.
