CHRIST OUR PEACE




I thought upon my sins, and I was sad;
My soul was troubled sore, and filled with pain
But then I thought on Jesus, and was glad—
My heavy grief was turned to joy again.


I thought upon the law, the fiery law,
Holy, and just, and good in its decree:
I looked to Jesus, an in him I saw
That law fulfilled, its curse endured for me.


I thought I saw an angry, frowning God,
Sitting as Judge upon the great white throne:
My soul was overwhelmed; then Jesus showed
His gracious face, and all my dread was gone.


I saw my sad estate,—condemned to die:
Then terror seized my heart, and dark despair;
But when to Calvary I turned my eye,
I saw the cross, and read forgiveness there.


I saw that I was lost, far gone astray;
No hope of safe return there seemed to be;
But then I heard that Jesus was the way,
A new and living way prepared for me.


Then in that way; so free, so safe, so sure,
All sprinkled o'er with reconciling blood,
Will I abide, and never wander more,
But walk secure, in fellowship with God.
