91. Oh What a Debt We Owe

S.M.
by G.V. Wigram
1
Oh what a debt we owe
 
To Him who shed His blood,
 
And cleansed our souls, and gave us power
 
To stand before His God.
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)
“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)
“For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” (Ephesians 2:18)
2
Savior and Lord! we own
 
The riches of Thy grace;
 
For we can call Thy God, our God — 
 
Can bow before His face.
“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” (1 John 4:14)
“The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.” (1 Corinthians 15:47)
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
“That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:7)
“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” (John 20:17)

Thy Father, too, above,
 
We worship as our own,
 
Who gave with Thee the Spirit’s cry,
 
To us His sons foreknown.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3)
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6)
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:14-15)
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” (Romans 8:29)
