Not what these hands have done
Can save the guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
Can make the spirit whole.

Refrain
Thy blood alone, Lord Jesus,
Can cleanse my soul from sin:
Thy Word alone, O Lamb of God,
Can give me peace within!

Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers, and sighs and tears,
Can ease sin’s awful load.

Thy love to me alone
Not mine, O Lord, to Thee
Can rid the heart of dark unrest,
And set the spirit free.

No other work save Thine
Nought save Thy blood will do:
No strength, save that which is divine,
Can bear me safely through.
