Hymn 357 — The perfect righteousness of God
| 357 | A. MIDLANE (1825-1909) | L.M. |
| 1 |
The perfect righteousness of God Is witnessed in the Saviour's blood; 'Tis in the cross of Christ we trace His righteousness, yet wondrous grace. | |
| 2 |
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. | |
| 3 |
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. | |
| 4 |
The sinner who believes is free, Can say, the Saviour died for me; Can point to the atoning blood And say, This made my peace with God. | |
