Jesus, Whose blood
so freely streamed
To satisfy the law’s demand;
By Thee from guilt
and wrath redeemed,
Before the Father’s face I stand.
To reconcile offending man,
Make Justice drop her angry rod;
What creature could
have formed the plan,
Or who fulfill it but a God?
No drop remains of all the curse,
For wretches who
deserved the whole;
No arrows dipped in wrath to pierce
The guilty, but returning soul.
Peace by such means
so dearly bought,
What rebel could have hoped to see?
Peace by his injured
Sovereign wrought,
His Sovereign fastened to a tree.
Now, Lord, Thy feeble worm prepare!
For strife with earth and hell begins;
Conform and gird me for the war;
They hate the soul that hates his sins.
Let them in horrid league agree!
They may assault, they may distress;
But cannot quench Thy love to me,
Nor rob me of the Lord my Peace.
