Our righteousness must far exceed
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our righteousness must far exceed
That of the Pharisees indeed;
It must be of a diff'rent kind,
Such as renews the heart and mind.
2 To sing and pray, and make a show,
Is what the hypocrite can do;
May seem to act the christian part,
Yet not the cause of Christ at heart.
3 Where grace divine, reigns not within,
The mind is still attach'd to sin;
The best devotion, dead and cold,
As was the Pharisees of old.
4 But diff'rent is the b'lievers state,
He will not live at such a rate;
His case unto himself is known,
He pleads, no merits of his own.
5 He pleads not for self-righteousness,
But all he pleads is pard'ning grade;
All which he trusts he shall partake,
And that alone for Jesus sake.
6 He gains that faith which works by love,
And all within him live and move
In Christ his Saviour, and his God,
Who hath redeem'd him with his blood.
7 Here is the christian set to view:
Lord grant that I may be such too;
Grant me that righteousness I need,
Which does the Pharisees exceed. Topics: Sixth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Matthew 5:20-26
