FAR as is east from west, are sundered wide
Thou and thy sins; no ‘whelming tide
Of righteous condemnation e’er shall roll
O’er thee, believing sinner—Christ has died
To save thy soul. —
Has died—and lives to show the work complete;
Kneel, kneel adoring at the feet
Of Him, Jehovah—Jesus Christ—the Word
That was, is, shall be! With Hosannas greet
Our coming Lord.
Coming to judge the earth and all therein
With us—the bride He died to win;
Caught up in mid-air to His loving breast.
No more vain longings; ah! and no more sin―
‘Tis peace and rest.
