Justification not by Works. Rom. 3. 19-23, 28
I. Watts C.M.
1
Vain are the hopes the sons of men
On their own works have built;
Their hearts by nature all unclean,
And all their actions guilt.
2
Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths,
Without a murmuring word;
And the whole race of Adam stand
Guilty before the Lord.
3
In vain we ask God’s righteous law
To justify us now,
Since to convince and to condemn
Is all the law can do.
4
Jesus, how glorious is thy grace!
When in thy name we trust,
Our faith receives a righteousness
That makes the sinner just.
