The value of Christ and his righteousnessA
-
PhilB
-
No more my God I boast no moreC
Of all the duties I have doneD
I quit the hopes I held beforeC
To trust the merits of thy SonD
-
Now for the love I bear his nameE
What was my gain I count my lossF
My former pride I call my shameE
And nail my glory to his crossF
-
Yes and I must and will esteemG
All things but loss for Jesus' sakeH
O may my soul be found in himI
And of his righteousness partakeH
-
The best obedience of my handsJ
Dares not appear before thy throneK
But faith can answer thy demandsJ
By pleading what my Lord has doneD

Isaac Watts
