Fly to the Hope the Gospel Gives

What Curses Does the Law Denounce
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

What curses does the law denounce
Against the man who fails but once!
But in the gospel Christ appears,
Pardoning the guilt of numerous years.

My soul, no more attempt to draw
Thy life and comfort from the law;
Fly to the hope the gospel gives;
The man that trusts the promise lives.
