Live Without Sin! It Cannot Be!

Live with­out sin! It can­not be!

This the enor­mous mount­ain stands

The grand im­pos­si­bil­ity

The hin­drance to our Lord’s com­mands!

But when the God of per­fect love

To build His Church

ap­pears again

Th’enor­mous mount­ain shall re­move

And sink

and flow in­to a plain.

By faith we see our Lord des­cend

And ev­ery ob­stacle give place:

He comes

He comes

our sin to end

With the om­ni­po­tence of grace!

He comes

He comes

His house to build

He bids the in­bred bar de­part:

And tempt­ed then

we can­not yield

We can­not sin

when pure in heart.
