Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #332 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done
Can save this guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
Can make this spirit whole.
2 Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears
Can bear my awful load.
3 Thy work alone, O Christ,
Can ease this weight of sin;
Thy Blood alone, O Lamb of God,
Can give me peace within.
4 Thy love to me, O God,
Not mine, O Lord, to Thee,
Can rid me of this dark unrest,
And set my spirit free.
5 Thy grace alone, O God,
To me can pardon speak;
Thy power alone, O Son of God,
Can this sore bondage break.
6 I bless the Christ of God;
I rest on love divine;
And, with unfaltering lip and heart,
I call this Saviour mine.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Languages: English Tune Title: BARNBY'S HYMNARY, TUNE 525
