Lyics

IN vain we seek for peace with God

By methods of our own:

Blest Saviour, nothing but thy blood

Can bring us near the throne.



The threat'nings of thy broken law

Impress the soul with dread:

If God his sword of vengeance draw

It strikes the spirit dead.



'Tis by thy death we live, O Lord!

'Tis on thy cross we rest:

Forever be thy love ador'd,

Thy name forever blest.
