Hymnal & Psalter

The perfect righteousness of God Is witnessed in the Saviour's blood; 'Tis in the cross of Christ we trace His righteousness, yet wondrous grace. God could not pass the sinner by, His sin demands that he must die; But in the cross of Christ we see How God can save us righteously. The sin is on the Saviour laid, 'Tis in His blood sin's debt is paid; Stern Justice can demand no more, And Mercy can dispense her store. The sinner who believes is free, Can say: "The Saviour died for me"; Can point to the atoning blood, And say: "This made my peace with God."
