His pow'rful blood did once atone, and now it pleads before the throne. 2 To this dear Surety's hand will I commit my cause; he answers and fulfils his Father's broken laws. Behold my soul at freedom set; my Surety paid the dreadful debt. 3 My Advocate appears for my defense on high; the Father bows his ears and lays his thunder by. Not all that hell or sin can say shall turn his heart, his love, away. 4 Should all the hosts of death and pow'rs of hell unknown put their most dreadful forms of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays his conqu'ring pow'r and guardian grace.
