“No condemnation!” It is true!
Sweet are the words Divine;
And lo, to Him whose words they are
My soul I now resign.
Doubtings have long possessed my heart:
I thought the love too free;
I feared to think that such a gift
Could be for sinful me.
I fain would do some mighty thing,
Repent, perform, or pray;
I failed to see the precious blood
Could wash all sins away.
But now ‘tis done! The loving voice
Of mercy has been heard;
“No condemnation!” it has said,
And I believe the word.
Christ’s precious blood has met my case,
Has purged my guilty soul,
Sweet peace is mine, through precious grace,
And joy unspeakable.
