Though void of all that's good

Verse 1

Though void of all that’s good, And very, very poor, Through Christ I hope to be renewed, And live for evermore.

Verse 2

I view my own bad heart, And see such evils there, The sight with horror makes me start, And tempts me to despair.

Verse 3

Then with a single eye I look to Christ alone; And on his righteousness rely, Though I myself have none.

Verse 4

By virtue of his blood, The Lord declares me clean. Now serves my mind the law of God, My flesh the law of sin.
