Verse 2

Unrighteous are they all, when tried; But God himself declares In Jesus they are justified; His righteousness is theirs.

Verse 3

That we’re unholy needs no proof; We sorely feel the fall; But Christ has holiness enough To sanctify us all.

Verse 4

Exposed by sin to God’s just wrath, We look to Christ and view Redemption in his blood by faith, And full redemption too.

Verse 5

Some this, some that good virtue teach, To rectify the soul; But we first after Jesus reach, And richly grasp the whole.

Verse 6

To Jesus joined, we all that’s good From him, our Head, derive. We eat his flesh and drink his blood, And by and in him live.
