E. G. Taylor (239/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

E. G. Taylor NOT saved are we by 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 that 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 remedy for their healing, When humbled in the dust, Was of the Lord’s revealing, It was not Try, but Trust. 3 No deeds of our 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.
