Horatius Bonar - Not What My Hands Have Done

      [Verse 1]
D
Not what my hands have done
    G
Can save my guilty soul;
     A
Not what my toiling flesh has borne
       G                D
Can   make my spi - rit whole.
     D
Not what I feel or  do
     G
Can give me peace with God;
    A
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears
    G            D
Can bear my awful load.

[Verse 2]
 D
Thy work alone, O Christ,
    G
Can ease this weight of sin;
     A
Thy blood alone, O Lamb  of   God,
       G            D
Can  give me peace within.
  D
Thy love to me, O God,
   G
Not mine, O Lord to thee,
     A
Can rid me  of   this  dark  unrest
      G             D
And set my spirit free.

[Verse 2]
 D
Thy grace alone, O God,
    G
To  me   can pardon speak;
     A
Thy pow'r alone, O Son  of   God,
       G                 D
Can  this sore bondage break.
  D
No other work but yours,
     G               D
No other blood will do;
     A
No strength but your great power,
      G              D
Can bear me safely through.

[Verse 3]
D
I bless the Christ of God;
  G
I rest on love divine;
    A
And with unfalt'ring lip and  heart
    G                 D
I call this  Saviour mine.
      D
This cross dispels each doubt;
   G
I bury in his tomb
       A
Each thought of  un - be - lief and fear,
       G                  D
Each ling'ring shade of gloom.

[Verse 4]
D
I praise the God of grace;
   G
I trust his truth and might;
     A
He calls me his, I call him  mine,
    G              D
My God, my joy, my light.
     D
'Tis he who saveth me,
     G
And freely pardon gives;
   A
I love because he   loved me,
   G                D
I live because he lives.

 G D
