Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.398

First Line: NOT saved are we trying,

NOT saved are we trying,
From self can come no aid;
‘Tis on the Blood relying,
Once for our ransom paid.
Tis looking unto Jesus,
The holy One and just ;
'Tis His great work mat saves us -
It is not Try, but Trust !

It is not Try, but Trust !
It is not Try, but Trust !
'Tis His great work that saves us:
It is not Try, but Trust !

2 ‘Twas vain for Israel bitten
By serpents, on their way,
To look to their own doing,
That awful plague to stay ;
The only means for healing,
When humbled in the dust,
Was of the Lord's revealing----
It was not Try, but Trust !

3 No deeds of ours are needed
To make Christ's merit more ;
No frames of mind, or feelings,
Can add to His great store ;
'Tis simply to receive Him,
The holy One and just ;
'Tis only to believe Him----
It is not Try, but Trust !
