CCLIII. Acceptance, in the Atonement of the Beloved

1 How shall the sons of men appear,
Great God, before thine awful bar?
How may the guilty hope to find
Acceptance with th' eternal mind?

2 Not vows, nor groans, nor broken cries,
Not the most costly sacrifice,
Not infant blood profusely spilt,
Will expiate a sinner's guilt.

3 Thy blood, dear Jesus, thine alone,
Hath sov'reign virtue to atone:
Here we will rest our only plea
When we approach, great God, to thee.
