524: Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ


1 Thy works, not mine, O Christ,
Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done;
They bid my fear depart.

Refrain:
To whom, save thee,
Who canst alone
For sin atone,
Lord, shall I flee?

2 Thy pains, not mine, O Christ,
Upon the shameful tree,
Have paid the law's full price
And purchased peace for me. (Refrain)

3 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awful load
Of sins that none in heav'n
Or earth could bear but God. (Refrain)

4 Thy righteousness, O Christ,
Alone can cover me:
No righteousness avails
Save that which is of thee. (Refrain)
