Jesus, thy sacrifice alone,
Can for my numerous sins atone,
And give the conscience rest;
This to my wounds I find a balm,
It sinks the tempest to a calm,
And makes the wretched blest.
The law condemns, but this I plead,
My Surety suffered in my stead,
And did the curse endure;
He gave his soul, his life for me,
Was bound and scourged to set me free,
My pardon to procure.
Should God the Lord to judgment call,
I prostrate at his feet would fall,
And plead redeeming grace;
Nor mention ought that I have done,
But say, behold thy bleeding Son,
Who took the sinner’s place.
