No one who is strong and whole needs a doctor for relief; therefore have no fear, draw nigh, that your want I may supply." 3 But examine first your case, whether you be in the faith; do you long for pard’ning grace? Is your only hope his death? Then, how e’er your soul’s oppressed, Come, you are a worthy guest. 4 They who Jesus’ mercy knows are from wrath and envy freed; love unto our neighbor shows that we are his flock indeed; thus we may in all our ways show forth our Redeemer’s praise.

Crown Him as your Captain In temptation's hour; Let His will enfold you In its light and pow'r. 5 Christians, this Lord Jesus Shall return again On the clouds of glory, O'er the earth to reign.

Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed the truth to triumph through us: the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through Christ, who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, God's kingdom is forever.

Of what great crime have you to make confession-- what dark transgression? 2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you; with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you; they give you gall to drink, they still decry you; they crucify you. 3 What is the source of all your mortal anguish? It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish; yes, all the wrath, the woe, that you inherit, this I do merit. 4 How strange is this great paradox to ponder; the shepherd dies for sheep who love to wander; the master pays the debt his servants owe him, who would not know him. 5 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded, that brought you here, by foes and thieves surrounded, conquer my heart, make love its sole endeavor henceforth forever!
