O God, to Know That Thou Art Just

Author: Arthur J. Mason Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4922 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O God, to know that Thou art just Gives hope and peace within; We could not in a mercy trust Which takes no count of sin. 2. I fain would open to Thy sight My utmost wickedness; Set, Lord, in Thy most searching light What I have done amiss. 3. No stern and needless law was Thine— Hard to be understood— But plainly read in every line, Holy, and just, and good. 4. Though basely weak my fallen race, And masterful my foes, I had th’omnipotence of grace To conquer, if I chose. 5. Well did I know the tender Heart I outraged by my sin, Yet with the world I would not part, Nor reign my passions in. 6. My fault it was, O Lord, most high, And not my fate alone: Thou canst not suffer sin, nor I In any way atone. 7. Yet there’s a plea that I may trust— Christ died that I might live! Cleanse me, my God, for Thou art just; Be faithful, and forgive. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FRANCIS XAVIER
