"Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ" by Horatius Bonar, 1808-1899 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 1. Thy works, not mine, O Christ, Speak gladness to this heart; They tell me all is done, They bid my fear depart. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 2. Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ, Can heal my bruised soul; Thy stripes, not mine, contain The balm that makes me whole. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 3. Thy cross, not mine, O Christ, Has borne the awe-full load Of sins that none could bear But the incarnate God. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 4. Thy death, not mine, O Christ, Has paid the ransom due; Ten thousand deaths like mine Would have been all too few. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 5. Thy righteousness, O Christ, Alone can cover me; No righteousness avails Save that which is of Thee. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? ________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #380 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Phil. 3:9 Author: Horatius Bonar, 1857 1st Published in: _The Parish Choir_, 1851 Tune: "St. John" ______________________________________________________________________ This text was converted to ascii format for Project Wittenberg by Marilyn F.
