"Jesus our Lord, … who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification"-Rom. 4:25.

O Saviour, Lord, well may our heart rejoice,
As on Thy living face our eyes do rest,
That death to us for ever more is past,
And in Thyself, within the vail, we're blest.

Upon Thy Father's throne above, Thou art
To all the Universe this witness made,
That sin's tremendous guilt shall ne'er be charged
To their account whose load on Thee was laid.

Sweet message this to hearts with fear distressed !
In heaven alone such truth could e'er be born,
Revealing grace divine to sinners great-
E'en those who once Thy head did crown with thorn !

For all mankind Thou hast the ransom paid
With Thy most precious blood upon the tree.
And now the Spirit urgently doth plead
That sinners, one and all, believe in Thee.

O blessed Lord, in God's own word we see
Thou art the proof most sweet that sin is gone !
Like Thee, through grace, we now do long to be,
And wait to sit with Thee upon Thy throne.

Blest prospect this-immortal joys to share
With Thee who once earth's lowly pathway trod,
That Thou mightest lead and bring unto Thy home
Those who by nature were so far from God.
