Hymn 1:109. The value of Christ and his righteousness, Phil. 3. 7 8 9.

← Hymns and Spiritual Songs

1 No more, my God, I boast no more Of all the duties I have done; I quit the hopes I held before To trust the merits of thy Son.

2 Now for the love I bear his Name, What was my gain I count my loss, My former pride I call my shame, And nail my glory to his cross.

3 Yes, and I must and will esteem All things but loss for Jesus' sake O may my soul be found in him, And of his righteousness partake.

4 The best obedience of my hands Dares not appear before thy throne; But faith can answer thy demands By pleading what my Lord has done.
