Hymn 443 — Jesus, how glorious is Thy grace!
| 443 | I. WATTS (1674-1748) | C.M. |
| 1 |
Jesus, how glorious is Thy grace! When in Thy Name we trust, Our faith receives a righteousness That makes the sinner just. | |
| 2 |
Vain are the hopes the sons of men Upon their works have built; Their hearts by nature are unclean, Their actions full of guilt. | |
| 3 |
Silent let Jew and Gentile stand, Without one vaunting word; And, humbled low, confess their guilt Before the righteous Lord. | |
| 4 |
No hope can on the law be built Of justifying grace; The law that shows the sinner's guilt Condemns him to his face. | |
| 5 |
With Christ the Lord we died to sin; With Him to life we rise -- To life which, now begun on earth, Is perfect in the skies. | |
