Vain are the hopes the sons of men

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 40:6-9 Lyrics: Vain are the hopes the sons of men On their own works have built; Their hearts by nature all unclean, And all their actions guilt.

In vain we ask God's righteous law To justify us now; Since to convince and to condemn Is all the law can do. Jesus, how glorious is thy grace! When in thy name we trust, Our faith receives a righteousness That makes the sinner just.
