Jesus, whose blood so freely streamed

JEHOVAM-SHALEM, The LORD send peace by William Cowper


 * Jesus, whose blood so freely streamed
 * To satisfy the laws demand;
 * By thee from guilt and wrath redeemed,
 * Before the Father's face I stand.


 * To reconcile offending man,
 * Make Justice drop her angry rod;
 * What creature could have formed the plan,
 * Or who fulfil it but a God?


 * No drop remains of all the curse;
 * For wretches who deserved the whole;
 * No arrows dipped in wrath to pierce
 * The guilty, but returning soul.


 * Peace by such means co dearly bought,
 * What rebel could have hoped to see?
 * Peace, by his injured sovereign wrought,
 * His Sovereign fastened to the tree.


 * Now, LORD, thy feeble worm prepare!
 * For strife with earth and hell begins;
 * Confirm and gird me for the war,
 * They hate the soul that hates his sins.


 * Let them in horrid league agree!
 * They may assault, they may distress;
 * But cannot quench thy love to me,
 * Nor rob me of the LORD my peace.
