Author: Watts Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How is our nature spoil'd by sin! Lyrics: 1 How is our nature spoil'd by sin!
Yet nature ne'er hath found
The way, to make the conscience clean,
Or heal the painful wound.
2 In vain we seek for peace with God
By methods of our own:
Jesus, there's nothing but thy blood
Can bring us near the throne.
3 The threat'nings of thy broken law
Impress our souls with dread:
If God his sword of vengeance draw
It strikes our spirits dead.
4 But thine illustrious sacrifice
Hath answered these demands:
And peace and pardon from the skies
Came down by Jesus' hand.
5 Here all the ancient types agree,
The altar, and the Lamb:
And prophets in their visions see
Salvation through his name.
6 'Tis by thy death, we live, O Lord;
'Tis on thy cross we rest:
For ever be thy love ador'd,
Thy name for ever blest. Topics: The Atonement of Christ, Who hath made Peace, by the Blood of the Cross Scripture: John 4:17-19 Languages: English
By Jesus, we have received Atonement
