What curses does the law denounce

by Isaac Watts·1814·Meter 8.8.8.8 (LM)

Based on Rom 8:3; Gal 3:10,11

1

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.

2

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.
