- 1No 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.
- 2Now for the love I bear his name,
- What was my gain, I count but loss;
- My former pride I call my shame,
- And nail my glory to his cross.
- 3Yes,--and I must, and will esteem
- All things but loss for Jesus' sake;
- Oh, may my soul be found in him,
- And of his righteousness partake.
- 4The best obedience of my hands
- Dares not appear before thy throne;
- But faith can answer thy demands,
- By pleading what my Lord has done.
