Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin,
If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid ?
Oh, why from His side flowed the sin-cleansing blood,
If His dying thy debt has not paid ? |
4-
Then doubt not thy welcome, since God has declared
There remaineth no more to be done ;
That once in the end of the world He appeared,
And completed the work He begun. |

3.
It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,
But the Blood, that atones for the soul;
Ort^Him then, who shed it, thou mayest at once
A hy weight of iniquities roll. |
5-
Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once
The life everlasting He gives;
And know with assurance thou never canst die,
Since Jesus, thy righteousness, lives. |
