What, sinner, canst thou do? (304)

What, sinner, canst thou do?
Where, sinner, canst thou fly?
Eternal wrath hangs o’er thy head,
And judgement lingers nigh.

For God must visit sin
With His displeasure sore;
Since He is holy, just, and true,
And righteous evermore.

But Jesus died for sin-
Upon the cross He died;
God’s righteousness was there displayed,
And Justice satisfied.

Faith is the way of life;
Believe in Christ and live;
Fly to the shelter of His blood,
And peace with God receive.
