Hymn 239 — Christ did for sins atone,
| 239 | A. E. MAYO | 6.6.6.6.8.8. |
| 1 |
Christ did for sins atone, And on the cross He bled; Forgiveness may be known, Because His blood was shed To free Thee from the bonds of sin, And give Thee peace and joy within. | |
| 2 |
His face He firmly set, And all the road He trod, Till justice had been met Before a holy God, Who now is free, at such a cost, To offer mercy to the lost. | |
| 3 |
But O, His suff'rings o'er, He lives in glory there; Alive to die no more, He waits with us to share His Father's house -- that home so bright -- Th'eternal day without a night. | |
