My own works can never merit

what the Love of God has won.

Grace alone! I can inherit

righteousness through Christ the Son.

–

Scripture’s word not human fables

points salvation, warns my soul.

God’s own word alone enables,

proves my sin, and makes me whole.

–

I now grasp the mighty pardon

God in Christ extends to me.

Faith alone can cleanse not harden

all my sins eternally

–

Refrain

Here I stand can do no other, all God’s truth through grace is clear.

By the love of Christ my brother, I no longer live in fear.

–

Human priests can never proffer

what my seated Lord has done.

Christ alone presents the offer

access to God’s righteous throne.

–

No creation earns the glory.

God created mercy’s plan,

paid the price, and wrote the story—

praise the King who rescued man!

–

Refrain

Here I stand can do no other, all God’s truth through grace is clear

By the love of Christ my brother, I no longer live in fear.
