280. What, Sinner, Can You Do

S.M.
1
What, sinner, can you do?
 
Where, sinner, can you fly?
 
Eternal wrath hangs o’er your head,
 
And judgment lingers nigh.
2
For God must visit sin
 
With His displeasure sore;
 
Since He is holy, just and true,
 
And righteous evermore.
3
So Jesus died for sin — 
 
Upon the cross He died;
 
God’s righteousness was there displayed,
 
And justice satisfied.
4
Faith is the way of life:
 
Believe in Christ and live;
 
Fly to the shelter of His blood,
 
And peace with God receive.
