111 C.M. Isaac Watts
Justification not by Works. Rom. 3. 19-23, 28
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.
