Thy works, not mine, O Christ, Speak gladness to my heart! It tells me all is done - It bids all fear depart! I rest in Thee, Whose work alone Doth gloriously for sin atone. Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ, Can heal the bruised soul! Thy stripes, not mine, contain The balm that makes me whole! I rest in Thee, Whose work alone Doth gloriously for sin atone. Thy Cross, not mine, O Christ, Has borne the awful load Of sins that none could bear But the Incarnate God! I rest in Thee, Whose work alone Doth gloriously for sin atone. Thy death, not mine, O Christ, Has paid the ransom due! Ten thousand deaths like mine Would all have been too few. I rest in Thee, Whose work alone, Doth gloriously for sin atone. - Author unknown March, 1988 "The Gospel Standard" |
