O God, to Know That Thou Art Just (EN 5724)

EN 5724 O God, to Know That Thou Art Just

1John.1.9

Versi Version 1

1

O God, to know that Thou art just

Gives hope and peace within;

We could not in a mercy trust

Which takes no count of sin.

2

I fain would open to Thy sight

My utmost wickedness;

Set, Lord, in Thy most searching light

What I have done amiss.

3

No stern and needless law was Thine—

Hard to be understood—

But plainly read in every line,

Holy, and just, and good.

4

Though basely weak my fallen race,

And masterful my foes,

I had th’omnipotence of grace

To conquer, if I chose.

5

Well did I know the tender Heart

I outraged by my sin,

Yet with the world I would not part,

Nor reign my passions in.

6

My fault it was, O Lord, most high,

And not my fate alone:

Thou canst not suffer sin, nor I

In any way atone.

7

Yet there’s a plea that I may trust—

Christ died that I might live!

Cleanse me, my God, for Thou art just;

Be faithful, and forgive.
