Isaac Watts - Hymn 38 part 1
Work rating: Low

The atonement of Christ.

Rom. 3:25. 

How is our nature spoiled by sin!
Yet nature ne`er hath found
The way to make the conscience clean,
Or heal the painful wound.

In vain we seek for peace with God
By methods of our own:
Jesus, there`s nothing but thy blood
Can bring us near the throne.

The threat`nings of thy broken law
Impress our souls with dread;
If God his sword of vengeance draw,
It strikes our spirits dead.

But thine illustrious sacrifice
Hath answered these demands:
And peace and pardon from the skies
Came down by Jesus` hands.

Here all the ancient types agree,
The altar and the lamb;
And prophets in their visions see
Salvation through his name.

`Tis by thy death we live, O Lord,
`Tis on thy cross we rest;
For ever be thy love adored,
Thy name for ever blessed.
