Vain are the works that I have done,
My past offences to atone,
And could I now from sin abstain,
Ye would my hopes of heaven be vain.
Should I the sharpest pains endure,
Or give my goods to feed the poor,
No works or sufferings could release
From wrath, or give the conscience peace.
In Jesus only I possess,
A pure and perfect righteousness;
In all my straits to him I flee,
And he will undertake for me.
