The Law is ho­ly, just and good,
And each com­mand we should ob­ey;
For Mo­ses wrote the ve­ry things
The Lord re­quires of us to­day.
But none have kept, with per­fect heart,
The Ten Com­mands from Sinai heard,
For we are weak, and break the Law,
In dai­ly thought and deed and word.

The Sav­ior kept the perfect Law,
For us He bore the guilt of sin;
He died to pay the debt we owe,
He lives to make us pure with­in.
The Gos­pel is the bless­èd news
Of par­don bought, at high­est cost;
Redemption now is full and free,
And none who trust Him shall be lost.

Then jus­ti­fied by faith are we,
By grace and mer­cy from above;
And peace with God, thro’ Je­sus Christ,
Is ours thro’ His re­deem­ing love.
We long to be like Christ our Lord,
For be ye ho­ly is His word;
We long to spread the glad good news
Which our re­joic­ing hearts have heard.
