[No, not if all the saints could join]
Whom, though I were righteous, &c.
—ix. 15.
No, not if all the saints could join
To make their works and merits mine,
Summon'd before the Judge, would I
Not guilty to His charge reply,
Or stand by any other plea,
Than—God be merciful to me!
To make their works and merits mine,
Summon'd before the Judge, would I
Not guilty to His charge reply,
Or stand by any other plea,
Than—God be merciful to me!
Yet conscious of my guilt I dare
Appear at Thy tremendous bar,
Unworthy to behold Thy face,
I humbly sue for pardoning grace,
And boldly now approach Thy throne,
Confiding in Thy righteous Son.
Appear at Thy tremendous bar,
Unworthy to behold Thy face,
I humbly sue for pardoning grace,
And boldly now approach Thy throne,
Confiding in Thy righteous Son.
