341. 'Twas Past and O'er, That Deathful Pain

C.M.
by P. Doddridge
1
’Twas past and o’er, that deathful pain
 
When forth the life-blood flowed
 
That washed our souls from every stain,
 
That paid the debt we owed.
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30)
“But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” (John 19:33-34)
2
Cleansed from our sins, renewed by grace,
 
Thy royal throne above,
 
Blest Savior, is our destined place,
 
Our portion there, Thy love.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.” (Titus 3:5)
3
Thine eye in that bright, cloudless day,
 
Shall, with supreme delight,
 
Thy fair and glorious bride survey,
 
Unblemished in Thy sight.
“And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.” (2 Samuel 23:4)
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:25-27)
