I: Jesus, whose blood so freely stream'd / To satisfy the law's demand, / Before the Father's face I stand.
II: To reconcile offending man, / Made Justice drop her angry rod; / What creature could have form'd the plan, / Or who fulfill it but a God?
III: No drop remains of all the curse / For wretches who deserved the whole; / No arrows dipp'd in wrath to pierce / The guilty but returning soul.
IV: Peace by such means, so dearly bought, / What rebel could have hoped to see?
Peace, by his injured Sovereign wrought, / His Sovereign fasten'd to the tree!
V: Now, Lord, thy feeble worm prepare; / For strife with earth and hell begins; / Confirm and gird me for the war; / They hate the soul that hates his sins.
VI: Let them in horrid league agree!
They may assault, they may distress, / But cannot quench thy love to me, / Nor rob me of the Lord my peace.
