[Verse 1]
DNot what my hands have done
Can Gsave my guilty soul;
Not wAhat my toiling flesh has borne
Can mGake my spi - rit Dwhole.
Not wDhat I feel or do
Can gGive me peace with God;
Not Aall my prayers and sighs and tears
Can Gbear my awfulD load.
[Verse 2]
TDhy work alone, O Christ,
Can Gease this weight of sin;
Thy bAlood alone, O Lamb of God,
Can giGve me peace wDithin.
ThDy love to me, O God,
NotG mine, O Lord to thee,
Can rAid me of this dark unrest
And seGt my spirit frDee.
[Verse 2]
TDhy grace alone, O God,
To Gme can pardon speak;
Thy pAow'r alone, O Son of God,
Can thGis sore bondage brDeak.
NoD other work but yours,
No otGher blood will dDo;
No stArength but your great power,
Can beGar me safely thDrough.
[Verse 3]
DI bless the Christ of God;
I Grest on love divine;
And Awith unfalt'ring lip and heart
I caGll this Saviour mDine.
This cDross dispels each doubt;
I bGury in his tomb
Each thAought of un - be - lief and fear,
Each liGng'ring shade of glDoom.
[Verse 4]
DI praise the God of grace;
I tGrust his truth and might;
He caAlls me his, I call him mine,
My GGod, my joy, my Dlight.
'Tis Dhe who saveth me,
And fGreely pardon gives;
I lAove because he loved me,
I lGive because he liDves.
