What, Sinner, Canst Thou Do? ( A61 )

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.

So 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.
