Imperfection of Nature, and Perfection of Scripture

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #228a (1786) Topics: Counsel and Support form God; Counsel and Support form God First Line: Let all the heathen writers join Lyrics: 1 Let all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book, Great God, if once compar'd with thine, How mean their writings look. 2 Not the most perfect rules they gave Could shew one sin forgiven; Nor lead a step beyond the grave, But thine conduct to heaven. 3 I've seen an end to what we call Perfection here below; How short the powers of nature fall, And can no further go. 4 Yet men would fain be just with God, By works their hands have wrought; But thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought. 5 In vain we boast perfection here, While sin defiles our frame; And sinks our virtues down so far, They scarce deserve the name. 6 Our faith, and love, and every grace Fall far below thy word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord.
