1. The Law commands and makes us know What duties to our God we owe; But 'tis the Gospel must reveal Where lies our strength to do his will. 2. The Law discovers guilt and sin And shows how vile our hearts have been; The Gospel only can express Forgiving love and cleansing grace. 3. What curses doth the Law denounce Against the man who fails but once! But in the Gospel Christ appears, Pardoning the guilt of numerous years. 4. My soul, no more attempt to draw Thy life and comfort from the Law Fly to the hope the Gospel gives; The man that trusts the promise lives.
