Guilt and Helplessness of Man. (405) Ah! how shall fallen man Be just before his God? If he contend in righteousness, We fall beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise? 3 All-seeing, powerful God, Who can with thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 Ah! how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him and escape, But through the Savior's blood. Isaac Watts, 1707.
