To form one perfect book,
Great God, if once compar'd with thine,
How mean their writings look.

Could shew one sin forgiven;
Nor lead a step beyond the grave,
But thine conduct to heaven.
3 I've seen an end to what we call
Perfection here below;
How short the powers of nature fall,
And can no further go.
4 Yet men would fain be just with God,
By works their hands have wrought;
But thy commands, exceeding broad,
Extend to every thought.

While sin defiles our frame;
And sinks our virtues down so far,
They scarce deserve the name.
6 Our faith, and love, and every grace
Fall far below thy word;
But perfect truth and righteousness
Dwell only with the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 119:96 Languages: English
