Let the World Their Virtue Boast

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let the world their virtue boast, Their works of righteousness, I, a wretch undone and lost, Am freely saved by grace; Other title I disclaim; This, only this, is all my plea: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. 2. I, like Gideon’s fleece, am found Unwatered still, and dry, While the dew on all around, Falls plenteous from the sky; Yet my Lord I cannot blame, The Savior’s grace for all is free: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. 3. Surely He will lift me up, For I of Him have need; I cannot give up my hope, Though I am cold and dead; To bring fire on earth He came; O that it now might kindled be! I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. 4. Jesus, Thou for me hast died, And Thou in me wilt live; I shall feel Thy death applied, I shall Thy life receive; Yet, when melted in the flame Of love, this shall be all my plea: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me.

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 201 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hear what God the Lord hath spoken, “O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you: Themes of heartfelt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; You shall name your walls, Salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. 2. “There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures, without end, shall flow, For the Lord, your faith rewarding, All His bounty shall bestow; Still in undisturbed possession Peace and righteousness shall reign; Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. 3. "Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see; But your griefs forever ending, Find eternal noon in Me: God shall rise, and shining o’er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your glory, God your everlasting light."
