39. He Knew No Sin, That Holy One

C.M.
1
He knew no sin, that Holy One,
 
Yet was made sin for us,
 
God gave His well-belovèd Son
 
To die for sinners thus.
2
Forsaken wholly on the tree,
 
Unheard His bitter cry,
 
That we from judgment might be free,
 
The righteous One must die.
3
Blood-sprinkled is the mercy-seat,
 
The throne is satisfied;
 
Redemption’s work is all complete,
 
And Christ is glorified.
4
In righteousness God now can bless
 
All who His Word believe,
 
And life eternal they possess
 
Who Christ the Son receive.
5
But soon will close that open door,
 
Be hushed that gracious voice,
 
Glad tidings shall be heard no more;
 
Now make thy final choice.
