No More, My God, I Boast No More

Verse 1

No more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before
To trust the merits of thy Son.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

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.
