The Perfect Righteousness Of God
The perfect righteousness of God Is witnessed in the Savior’s blood; ’Tis in the cross of Christ we trace His righteousness, yet wondrous grace.
God could not pass the sinner by, Justice demands that he should die; But in the cross of Christ we see How God can save, yet righteous be.
The judgment fell on Jesus’ head, ’Twas in His blood sin’s debt was paid; Stern Justice can demand no more, And Mercy can dispense her store.
The sinner who believes is free, Can say, “The Savior died for me:” Can point to the atoning blood, And say, “This made my peace with God.” —Albert Midlane (1825–1909)
