Flesh and Spirit. Rom. 7. 14-25; Gal. 5. 17-24

1 Though void of all that’s good,
  And very, very poor,
  Through Christ I hope to be renewed,
  And live for evermore.

2 I view my own bad heart,
  And see such evils there,
  The sight with horror makes me start,
  And tempts me to despair.

3 Then with a single eye
  I look to Christ alone;
  And on his righteousness rely,
  Though I myself have none.

4 By virtue of his blood,
  The Lord declares me clean.
  Now serves my mind the law of God,
  My flesh the law of sin.
