“The
works of the LORD are great,
sought out of all them that have pleasure therein… He hath made His wonderful
works to be remembered... He sent redemption unto His people” (Psalm 111:2-9). “By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh
be justified… But now the righteousness of God…is manifested…even the
righteousness of God which is
by faith of Jesus Christ… that He might be just, and the Justifier of him which
believeth in Jesus” (Romans 3:20-26).
The
works of our Lord Jesus Christ in creation
Are
great beyond searching, too boundless to measure!
His
works of compassion which brought us salvation
Exceed
comprehension and fill us with pleasure!
Consider
His righteousness seen in the Law
Which
shows us a standard we never could meet.
Our
need of a Savior He clearly foresaw:
No
wonder remembrance of Christ is so sweet!
His
Law manifested the sinner’s great needs
Thus
met by our Savior for us sacrificed.
We
know we’re not justified now by our deeds,
But
rather by trusting our Lord Jesus Christ.
In
Christ, and Christ only, we place all our trust,
For
He is the Savior who purged all our sin!
He
justifies sinners, and yet He is just!
We
rest in His love and have pleasure therein.
O
Lord, we give thanks for the joy we have known
As
You have unveiled Your works in our sight.
How
great is this favor we find at Your throne
Of
placing our pleasure in You with delight!
