Text and translations

English text No more, my God, I boast no more Of all the duties I have done; I quit the hopes I held before, To trust the merits of Thy Son. Now, for the love I bear His name, What was my gain I count my loss; My former pride I call my shame, And nail my glory to His cross. Yes, and I must and will esteem All things but loss for Jesus' sake: O may my soul be found in Him, And of His righteousness partake! The best obedience of my hands Dares not appear before Thy throne; But faith can answer Thy demands By pleading what my Lord has done. The value of Christ, and his righteousness by Isaac Watts, 1709, based on Philippians 3:7-9 External links add links here
