THE WORK OF CHRIST

D. C. Brown

The cross of Christ, on which He bore

The sins of all who own His claim,

Displays that God, for evermore,

Has finished with the man of shame

And shows the fulness of God’s grace

Securing us a heavenly place.

The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son,

Propitiation for all sin,

Is witness that the work is done

Which makes us free to come within

The presence of a holy God

To know His love; to give Him laud.

The water from His smitten side

Is witness, too, His work’s complete

And in each mind that work applied

Ensures for us this world’s defeat;

For we may be while still below

Made clean by virtue of that flow.
