God's holy law, transgressed
1
God's holy law, transgressed,Speaks nothing but despair;Burdened with guilt, with grief oppressed,We find no comfort there.
2
Not all our groans and tears,Nor works which we have done,Nor vows, nor promises, nor prayers,Can e'er for sin atone.
3
Relief alone is foundIn Jesus' precious blood;'Tis this that heals the mortal wound,And reconciles to God.
4
High lifted on the cross,The spotless Victim dies;This is salvation's only source,Whence all our hopes arise.
