August 11 THE MEASURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
“He will magnify the law, and make it honourable.”—
Isa. xlii. 21.
I wish to magnify Thy Law,
Dear Father, at the Saviour's Throne,
The blessèd Cross our hope and awe—
And thus I measure it alone;
There is no other way than this
To gauge its grandeur and no less,
Where Truth and Mercy meet and kiss
Within Thy rule of Righteousness.
Dear Father, at the Saviour's Throne,
The blessèd Cross our hope and awe—
And thus I measure it alone;
There is no other way than this
To gauge its grandeur and no less,
Where Truth and Mercy meet and kiss
Within Thy rule of Righteousness.
O Thou the gentlest One of all
Didst bow in Jesus to the dust,
To save us from the frequent fall
And show Thy Love is likewise just;
There Thou for ever didst exalt
The dreadful Majesty of Right,
That none should question or assault
The fount and safeguard of our light.

To save us from the frequent fall
And show Thy Love is likewise just;
There Thou for ever didst exalt
The dreadful Majesty of Right,
That none should question or assault
The fount and safeguard of our light.
And if I sometimes lightly deem
That Thou wilt pass my errors by,
And Grace is other than it seem,
Again I go to Calvary;
Unto the Cross my doubts I take
And find Love never Love might be,
If it could at no cost forsake
Its law and set the sinner free.

And Grace is other than it seem,
Again I go to Calvary;

And find Love never Love might be,
