Vain are the hopes the sons of men
1
Vain are the hopes the sons of menOn their own works have built;Their hearts, by nature, all unclean,And all their actions, guilt.
2
Let Jew and Gentile equal stand,Without a murmuring word;And the whole race of Adam ownTheir guilt before the Lord.
3
Jesus, how glorious is thy grace;When in thy name we trust,Our faith receives a righteousnessThat makes the sinner just.
