John 8:20: Thy money perish with thee, because thou, &c

Ye sacrilegious race
Your genuine father own
Who boldly hope to purchase grace
By what yourselves have done:
Your righteous rags unclean
Who would for pardon sell,
Your works and you are nought but sin
And fit for nought but hell.
: Repent, and cast aside
Your fancied righteousness,
Your goodness sin, your virtue pride,
Your faith a lie, confess:
Even you may then believe
The Lord doth justify,
And freely that to sinners give
Which they can never buy.

Jesus exalted is
Salvation to bestow,
His rest, His Spirit, and His peace
Which all believers know:
And every soul of man
May our Redeemer love,
A pardon without price obtain.
And then a crown above.
