We Take the Guilty Sinner’s Name

No works of law have we to boast—

By na­ture ru­ined

guil­ty

lost;

Condemned al­rea­dy

but Thy hand

Provided what Thou didst de­mand:

We take the guil­ty sin­ner’s name

The guil­ty sin­ner’s Sav­ior claim;

We take the guil­ty sin­ner’s name

The guil­ty sin­ner’s Sav­ior claim.

No faith we bring. ’Tis Christ alone—

’Tis what He is

what He has done;

He is for us as giv­en by God

It was for us He shed His blood:

We do not feel our sins are gone

But know it from Thy Word alone;

We know that Thou our sins didst lay

On Him who has put sin away:

Because we know our sins for­giv’n

We hap­py feel: our home is Heav’n.

O help us now as sons

our God

To tread the path that Je­sus trod:
