Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9496 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold how sinners disagree,
The publican and Pharisee!
One doth his righteousness proclaim,
The other owns his guilt and shame.
2 This man at humble distance stands,
And cries for grace with lifted hands;
That boldly rises near the throne,
And talks of duties he has done.
3 The Lord their different language knows,
And different answers He bestows;
The humble soul with grace He crowns,
Whilst on the proud His anger frowns.
4 Dear Father! let me never be
Joined with the boasting Pharisee;
I have no merits of my own,
But plead the sufferings of Thy Son. Languages: English Tune Title: EMMANUEL
Behold How Sinners Disagree
