CCLXI. Faith's claim

1 All ye that pass by
To JESUS draw nigh,
To you it is nothing that Jesus shou'd die?
Your ransom and peace,
Your surety he is,
Come, see if there ever was sorrow like his.

2 For what you have done
His blood must atone;
The father hath punish'd for you his dear Son;
He answer'd for all,
O come at his call,
And low at his cross with astonishment fall.

3 For you and for me,
He pray'd on the tree;
The pray'r is accepted, the sinner set free;
The sinner am I,
Who on JESUS rely,
And come for the pardon GOD will not deny.

4 My pardon I claim,
For a sinner I am,
A sinner believing in JESUS' name.
He purchas'd the grace
Which now I embrace,
O Father, thou know'st he hath dy'd in my place.

5 His death is my plea,
My Advocate see,
And hear the blood speak, that haa answer'd for me;
Acquitted I was,
When he bled on the cross;
And losing his life he haa carry'd my cause.
