\nTo satisfy the law’s demand;
\nBy thee from guilt and wrath redeem’d,
\nBefore the Father’s face I stand.<\/p>\n
\nMake Justice drop her angry rod;
\nWhat creature could have form’d the plan,
\nOr who fulfil it but a God?<\/p>\n
\nFor wretches who deserved the whole;
\nNo arrows dipt in wrath to pierce
\nThe guilty but returning soul.<\/p>\n
\nWhat rebel could have hoped to see?
\nPeace, by his injured Sovereign wrought,
\nHis Sovereign fasten’d to a tree.<\/p>\n
\nFor strife with earth and hell begins;
\nConfirm and gird me for the war,
\nThey hate the soul that hates his sins.<\/p>\n
\nThey may assault, they may distress;
\nBut cannot quench thy love to me,
\nNor rob me of the LORD my peace.<\/p>\n
