Thy Word

LET all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book; Great God, if once compared with thine, How mean their writings look!
Not the most perfect rules they gave Could show one sin forgiven, Nor lead a step beyond the grave; But thine conducts to heaven.
Yet men would fain be just with God By works their hands have wrought; But thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought.
Our faith, and love, and every grace Fall far below thy Word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord.
