Let the World Their Virtue Boast

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3679 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 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.

Let the world their virtue boast

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #XXI (1791) Lyrics: 1 Let the world their virtue boast, Their works of right'ousness; I, a wretch, undone and lost, Am surely sav'd by grace; Other title I disclaim, This, only this, is all my plea, I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus dy'd for me! 2 Happy they whose joys abound Like Jordan's swelling stream, Who their heav'n in Christ have found, And give the praise to him; Let them triumph in his name, Enjoy their full felicity; I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus dy'd for me! 3 Blest are they, entirely blest, Who can in him rejoice, Lean on his beloved breast, And hear the Bridegroom's voice; Meanest follower of the Lamb, His steps I at a distance see; I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus dy'd for me! 4 Jesus, thou for me hast dy'd, And thou in me shalt live; I shall feel thy death apply'd, I shall thy life receive; To bring fire on earth thou came, O that it now may kindled be! I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus dy'd for me! Topics: Penitential Languages: English
