We, Your People, Sing Your Praises (Bon Berger, ton peuple t’adore)
When I by faith by Maker see
Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:21 Lyrics: 1 When I by faith my Maker see
In weakness and distress,
Brought down to that sad state for me
Which angels can’t express;
2 When that great God to whom I go
For help, amazed I view,
By sin and sorrow sunk as low
As I, and lower too;
3 [For all our sins we his may call,
As he sustained their weight;
How huge the heavy load of all,
When only mine’s so great!]
4 Then, ravished with the rich belief
Of such a love as this,
I’m lost in wonder, melt with grief,
And faint beneath the bliss.
5 [Prostrate I fall, ashamed of doubt,
And worship love divine;
Thus may I always be devout;
Be this religion mine.]
6 In this alone I can confide;
Here’s righteousness enough.
What’s all the boast of nature’s pride?
What unsubstantial stuff!
7 [Rounds of dead service, forms, and ways,
Which some so much esteem,
Compared with this stupendous grace,
What trivial trash they seem!]
8 Lord, help a worthless worm, so weak
He can do nothing good;
May all I act, or think, or speak,
Be sprinkled with thy blood! Topics: Christ's Righteousness
