Hymns - Not What These Hands Have Done - Текст песни

Not what these hands have done
can save this guilty soul,
not what this toiling flesh has borne
can make my spirit whole.

Not what I feel or do
can give me peace with God;
not all my prayers, and sighs, and tears
can bear my aweful load.

Thy work alone, O Christ,
can ease this weight of sin;
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God,
can give me peace within.

Thy love to me, O God,
not mine, O Lord, to Thee,
can rid me of this dark unrest,
and set my spirit free.

Thy grace alone, O God,
to me can pardon speak;
Thy power alone, O Son of God,
can this sore bondage break.

I bless the Christ of God,
I rest on love divine,
and with unfaltering lip and heart,
I call this Saviour mine.
