67*. The Perfect Righteousness of God | L.M. |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | 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. |
|
| 2 | God could not pass the sinner by, | Ezekiel 18:4,20,26 |
| His sin demands that he must die; |
| But in the cross of Christ we see |
| How God can save, yet righteous be. |
|
| 3 | The sin alights on Jesus' head, |
| 'Tis in His blood sin's debt is paid; |
| Stern justice can demand no more, |
| And mercy can dispense her store. |
|
| 4 | The sinner who believes is free, | Galatians 2:20; Colossians 1:20 |
| Can say, "The Saviour died for me": |
| Can point to the atoning blood, |
| And say, "This made my peace with God." |
