Lyics

What shall the dying sinner do

Who seeks relief for all his woe?

Where shall the guilty sufferer find

A balm to soothe his anguished mind?



In vain we search, in vain we try,

Till Jesus brings his Gospel nigh;

 Tis there we find a sure relief,

A soothing balm for inward grief.



Be this the pillar of my hope-

This bears my fainting spirit up;

We read the grace, we trust the word,

And find salvation in the Lord.



Then let His name, who shed his blood

To bring the guilty nigh to God,

Be great in all the earth, and sung

In ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue.
