319. Our Sins Were Borne by Jesus
7,6.
by H. Bonar
Our sins were borne by Jesus,
He took them all, and freed us
From that condemning load.
Our guilt was borne by Jesus,
Who washed the crimson stains
White in His blood most precious,
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18)
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers.” (1 Peter 1:18)
“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:27)
Our wants are known to Jesus;
All fullness dwells in Him:
Who did our souls redeem.
We tell our griefs to Jesus,
Our burdens and our cares
He from them all releases,
Who all our sorrow shares.
“Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” (Matthew 6:8)
“For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.” (Colossians 1:19)
“Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.” (Psalm 103:3-4)
“And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.” (Matthew 14:12)
We love the name of Jesus,
The Christ of God, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes
His name is spread abroad.
We long to be with Jesus,
With all the ransomed throng,
To sing for aye His praises,
