How shall I come before the Lord,
Or bow before his throne?
Or how procure his kind regard!
Or for my guilt atone?
Shall altars flame, and victims bleed,
And spicy fumes ascend?
Will these my earnest wish succeed,
And make my God my friend?
Should thousand rams in flames expire,
Would these his favour buy?
Or oil, that should, for holy fire,
Ten thousand streams supply?
With trembling hands, and bleeding heart,
Should I my offspring slay;
Would this a cheerful hope impart,
Or purge my guilt away?
Ah ! no, my soul, 'twere fruitless all;
Such victims bleed in vain;
No fatlings, from the field or stall,
Such favour can obtain!
None, but a dying Saviour's blood,
Can all thy guilt remove;
This plead, my soul, before thy God,
And sing redeeming love.
