"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.
Now, for the loss 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."
-- Isaac Watts
