No More, My God

No more

my God

I boast no more

Of all the du­ties I have done;

I quit the hopes I held be­fore

To trust the mer­its of Thy Son.

Now

for the love I bear His name

What was my gain I count my loss;

My for­mer pride I call my shame

And nail my glo­ry to His cross.

Yes

and I must and will es­teem

All things but loss for Je­sus’ sake:

O may my soul be found in Him

And of His right­eous­ness par­take!

The best obe­di­ence of my hands

Dares not ap­pear be­fore Thy throne;

But faith can an­swer Thy de­mands

By plead­ing what my Lord has done.
