61*. What, Sinner, Canst Thou Do

S.M.
1
What, sinner, canst thou do?
 
Where, sinner, canst thou fly?
 
Eternal wrath hangs o’er thy head,
 
And judgment lingers nigh.
2
For God must visit sin
 
With His displeasure sore:
 
Since He is holy, just and true,
 
And righteous evermore.
3
So Jesus died for sin — 
 
Upon the cross He died;
 
God’s righteousness was there displayed,
 
And justice satisfied.
4
Faith is the way of life;
 
Believe in Christ and live;
 
Fly to the shelter of His blood,
 
And peace with God receive.
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36)
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)
