The perfect
righteousness of God
Is witnessed in
the Saviour's blood;
'Tis in the cross
of Christ we trace
His righteousness,
yet wondrous grace.
God could not pass
the sinner by,
Justice demands
that he should die;
But in the cross
of Christ we see
How God can save,
yet righteous be.
The judgment fell
on Jesus' head,
'Twas in His blood
sin's debt was paid;
Stern Justice can
demand no more,
And Mercy can
dispense her store.
The sinner who
believes is free,
Can say, "The Saviour
died for me:"
Can point to
the atoning blood,
And say, "This made
my peace with God."
