| All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:23) |
| How then can man be justified with God? (Job 25:4) |
| Not of works lest any man should boast. (Eph. 2:9) |
| Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16:30‑31) |
But when man seeks to cross the chasm
With eager heart and step elate,
He finds his bridge too short to reach,
Too frail to bear his weight. |
Oh, baseless dream! Oh, useless toil!
Oh, utter and eternal loss!
For God has laid, to span the void,
His Son upon the cross. |
