The law of God is good and wise

Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The law of God is good and wise And sets his will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound It shows what deeds are his delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And wilfully in sin remain, Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all; It dooms us for our sin to die And has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at his throne, Saved by his grace through faith alone. Amen.
