Is then the law of God untrue

Verse 1

Is, then, the law of God untrue, Which he by Moses gave? No! but to take it in this view, That it has power to save.

Verse 2

[Legal obedience were complete, Could we the law fulfil; But no man ever did so yet, And no man ever will.]

Verse 3

The law was never meant to give New strength to man’s lost race; We cannot act before we live, And life proceeds from grace.

Verse 4

But grace and truth by Christ are given; To him must Moses bow; Grace fits the new-born soul for heaven, And truth informs us how.

Verse 5

By Christ we enter into rest, And triumph o’er the fall; Whoe’er would be completely blest Must trust to Christ for all.
