Hymn 431 — No act of power could e'er atone,
| 431 | C. A. COATES (1862-1945) | C.M. |
| 1 |
No act of power could e'er atone, No wonder-working word Could, from the brightness of the throne, Make love's sweet voice be heard. | |
| 2 |
If sinners ever were to know The depths of love divine, All Calv'ry's weakness and its woe, Blest Saviour, must be Thine. | |
| 3 |
God's righteousness is there proclaimed, His mercy's depths are known, While to the full Thou hast maintained The glory of His throne. | |
| 4 |
God now is glorified in Thee, In Thee, His only Son; His hand, His house, His heart are free, Because Thy work is done. | |
| 5 |
For Thou hast brought again to Him More than by man He lost; And in the very place of sin We see His glory most. | |
| 6 |
And drawn to Thee in holy love, A song of joy we raise; In concert with the heav'ns above We crown Thee with our praise. | |
