341. 'Twas Past and O'er, That Deathful Pain

C.M.
by P. Doddridge
1
’Twas past and o’er, that deathful pain
 
When forth the life-blood flowed
 
That washed our souls from every stain,
 
That paid the debt we owed.
2
Cleansed from our sins, renewed by grace,
 
Thy royal throne above,
 
Blest Savior, is our destined place,
 
Our portion there, Thy love.
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.” (Titus 3:5)
3
Thine eye in that bright, cloudless day,
 
Shall, with supreme delight,
 
Thy fair and glorious bride survey,
 
Unblemished in Thy sight.
“And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.” (2 Samuel 23:4)
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. 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 5:25-27)
