Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XCIV (1766) Topics: Conviction of Sin by the Law First Line: Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men Lyrics: 1 Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men
On their own Works have built;
Their Hearts by Nature all unclean,
And all their Actions Guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their Mouths
Without a murm'ring Word,
And the whole Race of Adam stand
Guilty before the Lord.
3 In vain we ask God's righteous Law
To justify us now,
Since to convince, and to condemn,
Is all the Law can do.
4 Jesus, how glorious is thy Grace.
When in thy Name we trust!
Our Faith receives a Righteousness
That makes the Sinner just. Scripture: Romans 3:19-22 Languages: English
Justification by Faith, not Works; or, The Law condemns, Grace Justifies
