No works of law have we to boast—
By na­ture ru­ined, guil­ty, lost;
Condemned al­rea­dy, but Thy hand
Provided what Thou didst de­mand:

Refrain

We take the guil­ty sin­ner’s name,
The guil­ty sin­ner’s Sav­ior claim;
We take the guil­ty sin­ner’s name,
The guil­ty sin­ner’s Sav­ior claim.

No faith we bring. ’Tis Christ alone—
’Tis what He is, what He has done;
He is for us as giv­en by God,
It was for us He shed His blood:

Refrain

We do not feel our sins are gone,
But know it from Thy Word alone;
We know that Thou our sins didst lay
On Him who has put sin away:

Refrain

Because we know our sins for­giv­en,
We hap­py feel: our home is Hea­ven.
O help us now as sons, our God,
To tread the path that Je­sus trod:

Refrain
