56*. Vain Is the Thought of Man | S.M. |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | Vain is the thought of man | 1 Peter 1:19 |
| To merit heaven by prayer; |
| 'Tis only Jesus' precious blood |
| Can give admission there. |
|
| 2 | Could ceaseless prayers ascend, |
| Could tears forever flow; |
| The soul were still unblest, unsaved, |
| And peace could never know. |
|
| 3 | But faith's one look at Christ | Numbers 21:6-9 |
| Expiring on the tree— |
| One heart-believing glance at Him, |
| Can set the sinner free. |
|
| 4 | None can, without the blood |
| Of Jesus, be forgiven; |
| 'Tis resting on the blood alone |
| That fits the soul for heaven. |
