| Darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. (Job 22:11) |
| Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. (Amos 5:24) |
| Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it. (Isa. 45:8) |
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. |
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. |
