God’s holy law proclaims
The wretched sinner’s state;
The least defect it loud condemns,
And still its claims repeat.
Its awful threatenings fill
The criminal with fear;
Its only work to slay and kill,
its only fruit despair.
In vain we seek to draw
Substantial comfort thence;
What comfort can a broken law
To guilty souls dispense?
But see, from Christ the Lord,
Immortal blessings flow;
His life and death new hopes afford,
Of grace and glory too.
We sow approach the throne
Of an offended God;
There make our sins and sorrow known,
And plead a Saviour’s blood.
