These four lines were quoted by Tim Keller in Counterfeit Gods:
Lay your deadly doings down
Down at Jesus' feet
Stand in Him and Him alone
Gloriously complete.

Nothing, either great or small-
Nothing, sinner, no;
Jesus died and paid it all,
Long, long ago.

Refrain

"It is finished!" yes, indeed,
Finished, ev'ry jot;
Sinner, this is all you need,
Tell me, is it not?

Refrain

When He, from His lofty throne,
Stooped to do and die,
Ev'rything was fully done;
Hearken to His cry!

Refrain

Weary, working, burdened one,
Wherefore toil you so?
Cease your doing; all was done
Long, long ago.

Refrain

Till to Jesus' work you cling
By a simple faith,
"Doing" is a deadly thing-
"Doing" ends in death.

Refrain

Cast your deadly "doing" down-
Down at Jesus' feet;
Stand in Him, in Him alone,
Gloriously complete.
