The Law of God is Good and Wise

Verse 1

The law of God is good and wise and sets his will before our eyes, shows us the way of righteousness, and dooms to death when we transgress.

Verse 2

Its light of holiness imparts the knowledge of our sinful hearts that we may see our lost estate tnd turn from sin before too late.

Verse 3

To those who help in Christ have found and would in works of love abound it shows what deeds are his delight and should be done as good and right.

Verse 4

But those who scornfully disdain God's law shall then in sin remain; its terror in their ear resounds and keeps their wickedness in bounds.

Verse 5

The law is good, but since the fall its holiness condemns us all; it dooms us for our sin to die and has no pow'r to justify.

Verse 6

To Jesus we for refuge flee, who from the curse has set us free, and humbly worship at his throne, saved by his grace through faith alone.
