Of all the duties I have done; | |||
I quit the hopes I held before, | |||
To trust the merits of Thy Son. | |||
Now, for the love I bear His name, | |||
What was my gain I count my loss; | |||
My former pride I call my shame, | |||
And nail my glory to His cross. | |||
Yes, and I must and will esteem | |||
All things but loss for Jesus' sake: | |||
O may my soul be found in Him, | |||
And of His righteousness partake! | |||
The best obedience of my hands | |||
Dares not appear before Thy throne; | |||
But faith can answer Thy demands | |||
By pleading what my Lord has done.}}''The value of Christ, and his righteousness'' by Isaac Watts, 1709, based on Philippians 3:7-9 | |||
