Where is now the sinner’s Surety,
He who once was crucified?
All God’s waves of wrath went o’er Him
When He suffered, bled, and died.
“It is finished!”
Grace and truth are glorified.
In the grave they could not find Him;
He had told them so before:
Justice could no longer bind Him—
Mourners, let your fears be o’er,
“He is risen!”
Jesus lives for evermore.
“Peace unto you!” this His greeting,
Word of Him, who cannot lie,
From the heart that bore our judgment,
Heart of love that cannot die
“Peace unto you!”
Still He speaketh from on high.
“It is finished!” “He is risen!”
Ye who these blest words receive,
Peace in Him is now your portion,
Peace eternal He will give—
“Peace unto you!”
All who on His Name believe.
