Not Try, but Trust

Not saved are we by try­ing

From self can come no aid;

’Tis on the blood re­ly­ing

Once for our ran­som paid;

’Tis look­ing un­to Je­sus

The ho­ly One and Just;

’Tis His great work that saves us

It is not Try

but Trust.

It is not Try

but Trust;

It is not Try

but Trust;

’Tis His great work that saves us;

It is not Try

but Trust.

’Twas vain for Is­ra­el bit­ten

By ser­pents on their way

To look to their own do­ing

That aw­ful plague to stay;

The on­ly way for heal­ing

When hum­bled in the dust

Was of the Lord’s re­veal­ing

It was not Try

but Trust.

No deeds of ours are need­ed

To make Christ’s mer­it more;

No frames of mind

or feel­ings

Can add to His great store;

’Tis simp­ly to re­ceive Him

The ho­ly One and Just

’Tis on­ly to be­lieve Him

It was not Try

but Trust.
