The law supposing I have all, Does ever for perfection call; The gospel suits my total want, And all the law can seek does grant. The law could promise life to me, If my obedience perfect be; But grace does promise life upon My Lord’s obedience alone. The law says, Do, and life you’ll win; But grace says, Live, for all is done; The former cannot ease my grief, The latter yields me full relief. The law will not abate a mite, The gospel all the sum will quit; There God in thret’nings is array’d But here in promises display’d. The law excludes not boasting vain, But rather feeds it to my bane; But gospel grace allows no boasts, Save in the King, the Lord of Hosts. Lo! in the law Jehovah dwells, But Jesus is conceal’d; Whereas the gospel’s nothing else But Jesus Christ reveal’d.
